FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BLACK ALTAR Unleash New Lyric Video for “In the Labyrinths of Sitra Achra” via No Clean Singing
Polish Black Metal Force Returns with a Blistering Visual Dive into Qliphothic Mysticism
Polish black metal institution BLACK ALTAR has just premiered their haunting and esoteric new lyric video for the track “In the Labyrinths of Sitra Achra” , exclusively via No Clean Singing . The track is taken from the acclaimed three-way split Drakonian Elitism , released earlier this year through Odium Records , featuring BLACK ALTAR alongside Sweden’s Ofermod and Greece’s Acherontas .
Originally formed in 1998 and helmed by the enigmatic Shadow , BLACK ALTAR has built a deep discography of albums, splits, EPs, and compilations. “In the Labyrinths of Sitra Achra” is one of four songs contributed by the band to Drakonian Elitism , and this new video adds a visual layer to the already intense sonic ritual.
In their feature, No Clean Singing describes the track as:
“Possessed, sinister, lustful, defiant, and ecstatically fierce... Shadow’s gritty vocals narrate a deep dive into the labyrinthine abyss of transgression, seeking rebirth under the light of a black sun.”
Lyrically and thematically, the song delves into Kabbalistic mysticism , invoking the Left-Hand Path, the Tree of Death, and entities such as Lilith, Samael, Baal, and various Qliphothic spheres including A’arab Zaraq, Thagirion, and Thaumiel. The result is a piece that is both mythologically rich and musically ferocious.
The lyric video was created using ritual footage by Totenkult and expertly assembled by Audiopower Studio , making it a fitting visual representation of the song’s spiritual depth and raw power.
BLACK ALTAR - Studio Lineup:
Shadow – vocals, bass
Necro – guitars
James Stewart – drums
Lars Broddesson – clean vocals
Drakonian Elitism was mixed and mastered by Dionysis Dimitrakos at Descent Studio (Athens) and features cover art by renowned artist Daniele Valeriani . The release is available in a variety of physical formats including deluxe wooden box vinyl editions, cassette tapes, and 8-panel digipak CDs, as well as digitally. Merch and shirt designs are also available via Odium Records.
Also available: The official video for “Via Draconis” – another BLACK ALTAR offering from Drakonian Elitism .
For fans of true underground black metal, ritualistic atmosphere, and Kabbalistic lore, this release is not to be missed.
