It must be said asap: AzVs, the mastermind behind DAUGHTERS OF SOPHIA, choose to end his life on October 16th 2024. Flowing Downward, the label, received the whole album a few months before his death and was given freedrom upon its release. It is thus in memory of a gentle but tormented soul that we releases this album.
Titled "(4.0°) Tsalmaweth", this is the fourth album of the French Atmospheric Post-Black Metal project DAUGHTERS OF SOPHIA. Following the formula of long songs centered around excellently melodic riffs and solos, fast rhythms and shaded vocals, this album displays a certain crystalline, epic but haunted atmosphere throughout the whole length.
Wave after wave, song after song, this challenging album unveils its curse and its beauty all together. The sound of eerie, sick and morbid vocals intertwines with the melodic quality of the guitarswork, sometimes uplifting sometimes almost sinister, releasing a certain degree of emotive contrast. Demons meet lifeforce.
With lyrics dwelving in anti-nomianism, left-hand-path philosophies and Japanese literature, this sense that haunts the whole album finds explanation.
For fans of: Lantlôs, An Autumn for Crippled Children, Falaise, Lascar, Blut Aus Nord.

This has very little in common with traditional black metal, but a lot to offer for the fans of unconventional proggy stuff. An impressive one man army from Brazil, Lumnos is like Darkspace but not that dark. But definitely “space”.

Each song is drenched in a thick, blazingly dreary but stunningly beautiful atmosphere. There are pure depressive moments, but also moments that uplift your soul. Regardless, each moment pulls on your heart in one way or the other. Kreeko
