NEWS: Sothris announce new album “Domus Omnium Mortuorum”!

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Krzysztof Kostencki (Damnation of Gods, Across the Void, Dimera) at Tetra Wave Studio something wicked this way comes as Polish Blackened Death Metal act Sothris prepare to give us “Domus Omnium Mortuorum“. A third album from a band who have survived Metal Mine Festival, Frozen Sun Fest and Black Waves Fest in recent years, it will be unveiled in all its glory on 3rd October on cassette and compact disc in partnership with both Fetzner Death Records and ADG Records. For now they share “Pro Memoria” as the first burnt offering from the record they’re describing as a study of human wickedness but if you haven’t heard their Dissection cover then we highly recommend that.

The band comment: “This album uses a certain artistic game. We go back in time to the 19th century. The starting point for this idea, the inspiration is the monument of Karl Robert Lachmann, the only son of a German, aristocratic family, who died in the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871), vandalized by cemetery robbers, located in the mausoleum in Jałowiec. Based on what is on the cover, such a sketchy, very loosely outlined “plot” was created. It comes down primarily to what is in Wieczornica and the sound of slamming doors (gates) at the end of the album after Pietno. Generally: at night, a group of cemetery hyenas smash coffins, and the spirits of the dead suddenly start to get out of them, but not to punish them, but to show the tragedy of their lives and the world in which they existed. All the pieces after Wieczornica are de facto the voices of these spirits and our “today’s” commentaries on the visions or stories they presented before these thieves. So we as performers are a bit narrators, a bit actors, we interject a bit with our own words of commentary. The whole album is connected by the closing of the gate (sound), symbolically referring to the earlier opening of the coffins, but also to the end of that “séance” with the spirits, as well as the closing of the doors of their house, which is a reference to the title of the album “House of all the dead”.”
