Founded in 2022, Vosforis has quickly carved out a unique space in the UK black metal scene. Known for their deep, philosophical lyrics and an innovative blend of black metal and industrial elements, Vosforis transcends traditional boundaries to explore themes of existential dread, cosmic insignificance, and the darker facets of human experience. Their music is not just heard; it's felt, offering a cathartic release for those who wander through the shadows of the mind.
Debut Album: Cosmic Cenotaph
Released by Inner Hell Records, "Cosmic Cenotaph" marks Vosforis's bold entry into the metal world. This album showcases ten tracks of intricate compositions, each weaving a tapestry of haunting melodies and relentless rhythms. Recorded, mixed, mastered, and produced by Russ Russell at The Parlour Studios in Kettering, England, the album is a masterpiece of sound engineering, enriched by additional production from Simon White.
The album features standout guitar solos by Richard Shaw on tracks like "Psychonaut" and "Omega," with additional arrangements and vocal guidance by Anabelle Iratni. The visceral drumming of Adrian Erlandsson underpins each track, driving the dark, pulsating heart of the album.
Artistic Contributions
The visual identity of "Cosmic Cenotaph" is as impactful as its sound. The album’s artwork, designed by Stefan Thanneur, and the evocative photography by Topher Maher perfectly complement the album's thematic depth. The music video for "Grey Skin," created by Sascha Bachmann, adds a visual narrative layer that enhances the song's haunting themes.
