Hailing from Spain, the solo black metal entity Ultima reveals its debut full-length offering, “I: Katabasis”. The title is out now via OBSCURANT VISIONS and by the project itself.
Ultima is the new endevour of the Spanish ghoul known as D.B., the mind behind acclaimed acts such as Hässlig, Negativa, and Délirant. This release also marks the beginning of a trilogy. Across 32 minutes, a dense maelstrom of cold riffing and infernal atmospheres unfolds, depicting a calculated descent into the Stygian depths of the mind, where doubt, pain, and torment reside. Strongly inspired by projects such as the mighty Blazebirth Hall, Sanguine Eagle, and others, Ultima’s tracks revolve around droning, hypnotic riffs, complemented by moments of more oblique dissonance that evoke the dissociation between mind and reality. A descent into the deepest corners of the mind, in search of spiritual transcendence.
The original art showcased on the album artwork was crafted by Peter Paul Rubens. The artwork and layout design were done by Visions Noires.

1.Hermeticism
