“Cultists of the entire world, it’s with a great pride that we present you our first videoclip, produced by Zev Deans (Ghost, Behemoth, Portal, etc.), for the song “Of Dementia” from our new album ‘Cosmicism’.  On this album, we have mostly turned our eyes towards the cosmos, but we have not forgotten the cold and dark abyss, populated by unspeakable entities, especially the great Cthulhu, the pure evil in the depths of the sea.”

The French worshippers of Cthulhu reveal their fourth offering to the old ones. “Cosmicism” is a literary philosophy developed by H.P. Lovecraft. The idea behind “Cosmicism” is that humans are godless creatures who are totally insignificant in the grand scheme of our cosmic universe.

The production of this album was entrusted to Francis Caste (SINSAENUM, LOUDBLAST, SVART CROWN, REGARDE LES HOMMES TOMER, HANGMAN’S CHAIR) of the Studio Sainte-Marthe, who managed to capture the singular essence of THE GREAT OLD ONES.

The record is a true journey in the cold deep of space. Each song features a Lovecraftian entity and parallel the dark destiny of the protagonist who meets her and in turn, slowly succumbs to admiration and madness. Lyrics inspired by H.P. Lovecraft layered over haunting, melodic beauty result in a perfect match. Just listen and you will find out what awaits down there…
