At The Eye Of Chaos, by Olkoth

At The Eye Of Chaos

by Olkoth

supported by

Ghuughra Precussive Tech-Death in the vein of Decapitated or Krisiun. Very composed, very tight, with a dry, scraped clean sounding production. Worth a spin. Favorite track: Thousand Faced Moon.

KenshirO Outstanding brutal debut from Olkoth! The description had me at the Nile and Hate Eternal comparison, two bands I absolutely love. So naturally I blindly purchased At The Eye of Chaos knowing I'd love it too. Awesome debut 🤘💀

dcdirkzwager I get Sulphur Aeon vibes of this album. That's pretty cool!

1.	Alhazred 04:26	lyrics	buy track
In Caliph’s court born and enslaved only then to be exiled in fear Raised by ghouls and beings of ill portent Secrets of blood upon desert sands Greatest conjurer, who through music enthralled evil from places unseen. Hearken, I speak of Alhazred Traveler of the realm beyond sleep Dance with the Djinn Stare into death’s pallid eyes Commune with the dead Harvest their black wisdom From Babylon, ancient whispers Carry echoes from old, deathless kings Here within this dying beast’s entrails Lie red visions of your empires fall Greatest Sorcerer who, unblinking, gazes into the blackest abyss Hearken, I speak of Alhazred Who sees all, yet remains unseen Dance with the Djinn Stare into death’s pallid eyes Commune with the dead Black wisdom seals your demise To walk the crimson wasteland and thus return unscathed, Pacts of spirit and flesh shall mark your wretched soul. Above the sands of Damascus awaits the nameless void. For, the deathless ones to whom you’re tethered reach out to seal your demise. From the blackest abyss, peers an ageless terror. The great, crawling chaos grants knowledge infernal. Summon the dead payed with blood Torn limb from limb Alhazred
2.	Incendiary Prayer 03:58	lyrics	buy track
For the lord who knows all that is Has promised the crown of an Emperor Giving power to the false Who pray spinelessly to god as their greed becomes our overlord Weary of valor and devoid of light Pious convictions become a spiritual blight They built their temples on the backs of slaves Absolved of all error and sin Well are we placed here in this field of arms Blood red the steel of durandal shall flow Beset upon by the hand of god A kingdom purged of filth and infidels May the prophet guide our blades As the violence of his faith makes the land into an earthly hell Weary of valor and devoid of light Pious convictions infect with spiritual blight They built their temples on the backs of slaves Absolved of all error and sin Well are we placed here in this field of arms Blood red the steel of durandal shall flow Thousands of years plagued by religious disease By their own faith our race will crumble and fall to it’s knees Infidel souls, captured and thrown to the fire They fuel the beast of war to manifest it’s hateful gods desires Why are we ever born, for the day of ruin dawns Now we have lost our peerage and our lords An inquisition comes with all it’s force Now we hear the shrilling horns Fierce is the battle and wondrous grim
3.	The Resurrectionist 03:41	lyrics	buy track
Beneath the sands in depths forgotten The doorway hidden by ancient ones Under it’s spells of misdirection They’ll wither wandering in the sun Though he whose will breaks the clouded mind Looks on past gilded halls to the portal An oath of solemn and dire portent Shall follow them ‘til death You bear the mark of Nyarlathotep Following in footsteps unseen and unheard The corpses of kings shall bind us to the next world Within this place we’ll live forever Chambers perpetually illuminated Reveal not words but dark eldritch signs Inhuman figures impart their secrets Whispers of foul necromantic rites Towering pillars in stone of black Align the path to a crawling madness Malignant horror there seethes in wait Under it’s sardonic gaze We worship with our blood Spill your life before the faceless one In dark rites of vile resurrection
4.	Thousand Faced Moon 04:21	lyrics	buy track
Unseating the nervous equilibrium An awful lore that yet still lives Spawned from nests of disorder and violence A horror beyond all human conception Crowds of fugitives leprous and cancerous With evil dragged from elder worlds In this poison cauldron where their venom spreads Perpetuates dark obscenities A cosmic irony justifies the prophet’s cursed and loathsome words. This latent mystery in our existence is ever present beyond the veil. Hysteria takes hold in a hell of revelation too sudden and insidious to escape. Amalgamations of spiritual putrescence, the blasphemies of a hundred dialects assail the sky. O’ friend and companion of night, who wanderest in the midst of the shades among tombs, who longest for blood and bringest terror, Gorgo, Mormo, thousand-faced moon… Festered by unhallowed prayers and bleeding throats, Cosmic sin is ushered forth. Grinning march of death that is to rot us all, Forms too vile for our graves to hold. Sephiroth, Ashmodai, Samael! Take this flesh in offering to her Within this quintessence of all damnation The bounds of consciousness are torn apart Amidst the blasphemies and the cries of Eldritch things that should be dead Grim abnormalities spill stainless lifeblood within Satan’s Babylonish court. Lillith, Great Lillith, behold this rotting vessel, his terrible visage with outstretched arms. A hellish vestige of netherlandish death-cults, their blasphemies in a hundred dialects assail the sky. O’ friend and companion of night, who rejoicest in the baying of dogs and spilt blood, who longest for flesh and brings* terror. Gorgo, Mormo, thousand-faced moon… Accept our sacrifice!
5.	To Eat Of The Lotus 05:24	lyrics	buy track
Lost within this self-made haze of gnarled delusion, you create deception to hide your life’s failures. Bury all of your demons; you’re too weak to face them. To eat of the lotus, you’ll abandon all that’s sacred. Direful winds carry lies over seas of confusion. Lustful and corrupted, love gives way to hatred. Take it all, give back nothing and leave yourself hollow. To eat of the lotus you’ll defile all that is sacred. For this demented soul... I hear the void calling! Oh, the nectar is so sweet. It’s taste corrupts your senses and your mind. Your father’s hatred is an old and decaying shield. A writhing soul watched by Malebolgian eyes spirals into depravity.
6.	Eidolon In The Flames 04:31	lyrics	buy track
Sick and deranged Force-fed by those who follow the kloth Religious darkness controls them Thrown to the ground Violently mounted with a hand on your throat Swallow the vile holy spirit A fire to send this helpless soul into oblivion Gleaming with hatred, born of ignorance Burned on the hearth Smoldering there until only ashes remain Rise through the smoke and poignant stench of death Suffering and weary God fearing gaze upon her A sentence to purge the unholy There can be no salvation Fever dreams invade the last acrid nights Words of condemnation The heretic reads aloud the final rites Tithe unto hell Infernal changeling, it must be absolved Amongst the hawthorns it found her Vicious intent Held to the embers in the name of a god Devils whore, foul deceiver The fire will send this wretched soul into oblivion Gleaming with hatred, spawned from ignorance Burned on the hearth Smoldering there until only ashes remain Rise through the smoke and poignant stench of death They pray and read out scripture As the embers burn her soft, tender flesh No god was there with her I still hear the burning voice calling my name to the fire. A glow of suffering burned into my eyes These stygian wails erode all sanity Gripping the soul at its core, a crippling fear assumes all control Through judgment misgiven, accursed eternity Demonic imposter Taker of souls Only a spirit of hatred now remains Unholy Imposter Corrupter of Souls I still see the Eidolon staring back through the flames Unholy Imposter Corrupter of Souls I still hear the burning voice calling out my name The eidolon in the flames
7.	Lords Of The Kali Yuga 03:20	lyrics	buy track
Hari Krishna, truthfulness and mercy has dissolved. The souls of this age are desecrated, our wisdom and consciousness devolves Oh Visnuyasa, your avatar splits the horizon And from your hands the eight opulences command the greater winds of the end We mourn the blackened skies Through vista of all the ages past Yuga of Kali Scorch the earth and purify all corruption In the eyes of Brahma, three worlds swallowed by serpent’s flame From the mouth of Ananta comes the breath of our final days. Monuments reduced to embers are forsaken by time. Watch the Rajas burns their kingdoms by infernal design. Let the lords of fire and void, cleanse the firmament. They orchestrate the fall of man as this aeon ends. We mourn the blackened skies Through vista of all the ages past Yuga of Kali Our souls in fire are purified
8.	At The Eye Of Chaos 05:19	lyrics	buy track
The death of all ideologies shall erase our identity and mind. The damage we’ve done, now irreparable; Our existence diseased by ages of corruption Open the gates for the blindgod Black writhing chaos that sleeps beyond This cataclysm echoes through the aeons Deliverance lies in our deconstruction The battered and bloated fallen ones whirl above in currents of spinning death. Devour all that lies on the horizon Blessed the world eater, our day of ruin has come Open the gates for the blindgod Oh tortured phantoms of ages lost Noiseless infinity calls us from the great void To be delivered by deconstruction Our chants ascend; we who dare to speak your name. All hail the throne at the eye of chaos. Coronzon awaits through the watchtowers, disrupting the laws of a dying realm. A vessel of flesh calls them into being. Entities of wrath, through their holocaust birth freedom. Open the gates for the blindgod Oh tortured phantoms of ages lost Noiseless infinity calls us from the great void To be delivered by deconstruction Our chants ascend; we who dare to speak your name. All hail the throne at the eye of chaos. Mad Lord! Creator, Destroyer... Master of the Infinite Chaos. Temper us in thy abysmal cold. Come god upon thy eternal throne. Reign in Chaos

about

Olkoth finally unleashes its first full length album, a deadly, ferocious death metal formula taking the lesson of Nile and Hate Eternal and bringing it even further.
Immerse yourself in this perfect blend of fury and atmosphere!

Formed in 2016 by Zach Jeter (also in Imperivm and Lecherous Nocturne) and Vance Jeffcoat (RIP 1981-2017) in Columbia, SC; Olkoth set out to create a unique and brutal blend of death and black metal. The band's music and themes take inspiration from the occult, horror, mythology, and corruption throughout history. In 2020, the band returned with a new lineup to produce new music true to it's brutal and blackened roots. With a debut full-length out soon and subsequent tour plans, Olkoth is set to return stronger than ever!

For fans of Nile, Hate Eternal, Hideous Divinity, Vitriol.
