Refer to the Cosmic Divine Once More with Metatron Omega

The languorous, ethereal manifestations of Metatron Omega return in an all-new offering, Kataphasis, another eerie journey into abyssal soundscapes of which has become a significant quality of Metatron’s style. This album takes listeners on a hauntingly atmospheric journey through abyssal soundscapes, into scenes of interpersonal and reflective miasma whose vistas can only be witnessed by the listener.

Known for his ability to craft otherworldly atmospheres, Metatron Omega delves even deeper into the concepts of theological and interpersonal inference, mixed with the timbre of abyssal and cosmic aesthetics with Kataphasis. From the very first track, Theosis, we are released into the monumental and desolate caverns of stylistic droning chants of which Metatron Omega is known - these droning, ritualistic chants and ethereal synth textures create an unsettling yet captivating aura that draws you in, leaving you to wander the vast chambers of your psyche while your spirit is given the opportunity to ponder the nature of existence.

The production quality on Kataphasis is the usual quality, per Cryo Chamber releases, exceptional; each sound element is meticulously layered and mixed, creating a sonic tapestry of lethargic, silken soundscapes, with the mix tempered, never allowing any element of the music to abrasively interject, but keeping all elements tamed and in a gentle ebb and flow of timbre.

Kataphasis is a formidable addition to the dark ambient genre - and a welcome emergence from one of this author’s personal favorite composers - offering a deep, immersive journey into the realms of vastness, ritual, and mysticism; a mesmerizing and captivating sonic experience that lingers long after the final track fades into the void. Kataphasis can be purchased in 6 panel digipak CD and digital formats on the Cryo Chamber Bandcamp page.
