The Australian black metal entity Drowning the Light has unleashed the fourth part of its new tale of darkness, “Conquer or Serve”, titled “Conquer or Serve IV: Xeperapep”!
Azgorh reflects on the title:
“The
fourth part of this five part cycle is “Xeperapep”. To come into
being through something that came from chaos (Apep being the
serpent of Chaos) and not originally part of the natural world. A
reflection of this creation itself not only bringing about
Xeperapep within myself but also being an act of Xeperapep within
itself, never existing before or naturally occurring, coming into
being from chaos into the cosmos. All five of these albums are an
act of Xeperapep. Delving deeper into the void, towards the grail.
Currents merge and flow, from the starless acausal regions of the
night to the flowing causal conjunction of cosmos. This is the
nexus of thought and reality as you pluck an eye from the falcon
god of light to know the natural world, while Set conquers and
merges with Apophis (Apep) to bring chaos into existence and signal
this new Aeon. The morning star fell, to bestow knowledge upon the
chainless, and the flames of the old gods were stolen to light that
path, as non-corporeal entities spill and meld into shadow form,
and beyond the tidal spheres of darkness, Setapophis comes into
being. Breaking the paradigm of thought and opening that portal to
the endless sea. To understand you are Isolate yet all, that
parameters are unlimited yet defined, and that the cycles of fate
are defined but not determined. This album is raw, majestic and
melancholic Black Metal that walks the threshold between worlds.
Every track on this album lyrically ends with the word “Xeperapep”
to signify the act of it coming into being while never previously
existing outside of the abyss. I bring these songs into existence
as an act of both creation and destruction… Also as a form of true
Black Magick. One that alters my subjective universe… And may alter
yours.”
The album is released via Dark Adversary
