    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.

Father Vast darkness Release me from this cosmic illusion Guide me towards the blazing flames, towards perdition Odious deceiver: Bestow upon me the abomination of sight Behold the immense blackness of the pit And the crushing weight of its darkness Descend into its madness, and gaze upon the spiraling void within a void Within the midst of its horror lies the numinous flickering flame Cursed Salvation Cursed Illumination A withering world revealed Gangrenous wounds stand agape Wounds upon Wounds Behold the immense blackness of the pit And the crushing weight of its darkness Descend into its madness, and gaze upon the spiraling void within a void Within the midst of its horror lies the numinous flickering flame The Cursed Salvation

Verminous 05:29
Harmonic chaos and orchestrated madness Horrors absurd, psychotropic twilight Reflected visions, praise be to the bearer of illusions! Ominous nightmare of hideous foresight Pester the psyche and contemplate death Witness the warping of faces and the gouging of eyes Beyond these neurotic walls Deep within the corporeal synagogue Rotten skulls infested with rats and larvae Sanction the beckoning of storms Entranced with loathing Blinded by the flickering of stars Draped in disorders Delirious from the intoxicating odors The cerebral shrine splintered All spores swallowed All dreams inverted

Come, awful light Embrace this sanctuary with despicable splendor Gaze upon these corrupt burrows descending Ignite forsaken temples and inhale the rotting essence As venomous incense enshrouds the stars A cluster of storms Breathing through wormhole mazes Feeding gaping jaws the bitter waters of nausea To harvest foul seeds and rape the crops of life The demented ancestry of nebulae afar Radiate darkness Consume the life-giving light Unravel all cosmic mysteries Wash away the inbred children of abominations In the blood soaked clay Ascend through an ocean of broken bones and shattered pillars! As the desolate grounds shiver The blistering dawn will commence Wretched monuments of horror Manifested in feverish rapture Behold the harbinger of chaos Riding on cimmerian currents

Aphotic Womb 06:37
All-terrible goddess of night Whose shears rupture the cord of life Inexorable bane of aeons, I supplicate before thee. As the autumnal gale falling leaves does blow So my soul 'fore thy wrath does tremble with woe. Hear my lament Before thy black sickle it's harvest does reap Take heed of my prayer o bringer of sleep, I beseech thee The sepulchral grounds glisten in twilight As the sun succumbs to the shadows at dusk The glare of the inverted torch Illuminates the path towards descension Herald of the highest gods Carry me through chthonian halls The charnel depths where serpents coil Below the earth where light can't pierce the soil Let me cross the frigid waters, Where incorporeal shades coalesce, Where eaters of ash and drinkers of mud Form the choir of a thousand horrors Imperious sovereign of all that breathes No earthly sceptre shall impede Thy pitiless hand whom all turns pale Against whose touch all flesh is frail Transfixed by thy spectral majesty I prepare to greet eternity Upon abyssal shores Goddess of tenebrous grace Enshroud me in thy black embrace Let me rest in thy aphotic womb Forevermore

Licentious celestial beings The two hundred watchers of heaven Descended upon earth And sink their teeth into the forbidden fruit of flesh Defile themselves with the blood of the immaculate daughters of men Touched by the divine Stripped free from the boundaries of flesh Revealed to them many ambrosial sins Parturient with abomination A teratoid crossbreed of the transcendental and mortal Tainted by the fallen Fountains of the great deep cry with fury The lawless lurk for blood Feasting upon all and own Bound arm to leg Imprisoned by putrid soil Condemned to eternal grief Burning in ethereal fire Malicious lost guardians

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
