This EP is the spiritual successor to the "Paradise Slaves" EP, however instead of focusing on the herds delusions of "Paradise" this EP focuses on their blind grasp of "reality" using Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" as a point of reason but with a Setapophian twist on said allegory.

This EP is the spiritual successor to the "Paradise Slaves" EP, however instead of focusing on the herds delusions of "Paradise" this EP focuses on their blind grasp of "reality" using Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" as a point of reason but with a Setapophian twist on said allegory. We live in a time of spiritual decay as civilization further erodes and humanity enslaves itself within that cave. When presented with the Black Flame burning bright, the weak close their eyes and grasp onto their mortal coil in fear because their whole reality is just an illusion and they are but slaves to it. The sonic aspects of this EP are much like the burning light outside of the cave. For many it will sound like a wall of raw noise, putting the herd off and making them retreat to comfort (returning to the shackles of the cave). But for those who allow their ears to adjust, the harshness soon becomes something else - melody, truth and spirit hidden within! Raw, melancholic & majestic Black Metal!

This split album may seem like a strange pairing, but it couldn't be more fitting! Both entity's tracks are based around the paranormal and Occult activity which this particular Mountain is notorious for, not only in local folklore but Azgorh's own personal experiences in the house he grew up in on the mountain, as well as many experiences within

This split album may seem like a strange pairing, but it couldn't be more fitting! Both entity's tracks are based around the paranormal and Occult activity which this particular Mountain is notorious for, not only in local folklore but Azgorh's own personal experiences in the house he grew up in on the mountain, as well as many experiences within the forest of the mountain over the years since... and still to this day. The strange burial-like mounds, the unearthly sounds echoing between the trees and the shadows that stalk the hills. Those who have been on the mountain at night especially know what I speak of. The tracks within this split weave between each band, Drowning the Light bringing its signature haunting, melancholic & majestic Black Metal, while Ghosts of Oceania creates eerie midnight music filled with darkness and a sinister yet sombre nostalgia. Both band's very existence have been shaped by this mountain and the experiences upon it. This split is the eerie dread that washes over you the deeper into the forest you go, straying from any human path, the eyes of the forest watching... It is the majesty, melancholy and nostalgia that engulfs your being without explanation... It is that which will always haunt you yet draw you in closer... The Mountain always calls...

This mountain and areas created by it is where almost every outdoor Drowning the Light photo session has taken place, whether upon the mountain or in its forests, or the areas by the ocean created by the volcanic lava flow when the mountain was an active volcanic vent. The lore of the mountain in regards to DTL runs deep.

"Haunter of the Deep" is an album filled with melodic and melancholic Setapophian Black Metal darkness that will drag you from the shallows into the murky depths below... A journey to great empires forgotten by time... A trident to plunge and fill your lungs... And as death creeps closer with the tides and you are pulled into the Abyss,

A journey to great empires forgotten by time... A trident to plunge and fill your lungs... And as death creeps closer with the tides and you are pulled into the Abyss, bioluminescent beings will become the last light that you see...

This is the third in Drowning the Light's series of ancient Egyptian darkness, following on from "A Gleam in the Eye of Set" & "Tenth Region of the Night".

This is the third in Drowning the Light's series of ancient Egyptian darkness, following on from "A Gleam in the Eye of Set" & "Tenth Region of the Night". Once again delving into Sets mastery over the primal unrestrained chaos serpent of the night that is Apep (Apophis), this EP contains 4 tracks of raw, melancholic and majestic Setapophian Black Metal! In the Abyss not only does one use the Black Flame to conquer Apophis, but one also merges with the serpent ("Set-Apep" or "Setapophis"), this Black Magick is both the creator and devourer of worlds! Beyond the laws of nature and perceived "reality". The dawn of the Setapophian Aeon is upon us. Apep/Apophis the serpent of chaos, disorder & the abyss has existed before conceptualized time, ancient and immortal having risen up from the waters of primeval chaos which preceded the creation of the cosmos. Apophis attacks the Solar boat of Ra nightly and threatens to bring chaos to the cosmological prison of time and order. Apep is the Vampyric hunger and predatory instincts inherent in living beings, including to an extent the Neteru (Gods) of the Ennead. Apophis has long been identified with Set, the God of Chaos, Darkness, Storms and War, yet is the Neter which brings balance and maintains Ra by holding back the unrestrained disorder of Apep. It was only Set who could withstand the magical powers of Apophis, who nightly would attack Ra and the gods who sailed on the solar barge through the tenth region of the night. Set mastered and conquered Apep, channeling his darkness and primal chaos into temporary Order.
