"It flickers.
Last glimmer,
Ultimate light.
Then nothing
...
So many questions,
So few answers.
It all ends tonight." ('Nenokatasukuni')

Building upon their opulent and darkly captivating debut "Xibalba", cinematic Black Metal ensemble ERSHETU – featuring composer Sacr, conceptualist Void (DMP), and lead vocalist Vindsval (BLUT AUS NORD, FORHIST) – now officially release an intense and mesmerizing successor: "Yomi".

Centred around the concept of 'kami', the divine beings in Japan's Shinto tradition, the album is a rich tapestry of ritual percussion, orchestration and atmospherics. It interweaves the evocative sounds of traditional Japanese instruments such as the Koto and Shamisen with relentless, cerebral Black Metal.
