Sinmara was previously known under the name CHAO. The change in name sees the band develop upon their foundations of chaotic agression contrasted with haunting melodies, bringing forth a newfound maturity and focus of composition, masterful musicianship and a zealous intensity of execution. Along with the change in name there has also been a change in line-up, and the band now features members of Wormlust, Rebirth of Nefast and Svartidauði. Aphotic Womb takes the listener on a descent into a writhing underworld of diverse soundscapes and themes, from the harmonic chaos and orchestrated madness of “Verminous”, to the mournful elegy of the title track, and culminating in the eschatological epic “Mountains of Quivering Bones”. The album was recorded, mixed and mastered over a period of 2 years by Stephen Lockhart at Studio Emissary, resulting in a world class production, and features stunning artwork and layout from Alexander L. Brown at BNB Illustration & Design. Released by TERRATUR POSSESSIONS.

lyrics
Black skies overlook the earth
Coiling cancerous chaos lurks behind crimson clouds
The tainted nectar of life, a womb impregnated by death
Ominous silence, maddening, disquieting
The wailing cries of the trumpets pierce the air
An unearthly resonance sublime in resplendence
Harken the bearer of woeful revelations
as the morningstar’s descent draws near
As the final trumpet beckons
The coming of the day of wrath
The blazing star descends upon the earth
Collapsing upon the waters
Beyond fiery skies
Behold the manifold horrors of the yawning abyss,
as they spew forth in sulfurous torrents –
A tapestry of venomous fumes slithering, suffocating
Skin peeling, veins torn asunder
Lacerated eyes draped from sullen faces
Pillars crumbling, the earth penetrated
Rivers run black with poisonous blood
Ascend chthonian ones
Descend exalted ones
Usurp terrestrial thrones
Upon Mountains of Quivering Bones
For within the heart of life beats the pulse of death.
Transcendent in splendor, twofold poles in singularity wed
In primeval collision the two become one,
as earth is consumed by the wrath of the sun.
As the final trumpet beckons
The coming of the day of wrath
The blazing star descends upon the earth
Collapsing upon the waters
Beyond fiery skies

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf
