Decibel is happy to present a new video from the UK-based black metal band, Vosforis. Vosforis plays a grand and forceful variant of black metal akin to latter-era Satyricon, with faint echoes of some of the more recent output from bands like Necrophobic, Nordjevel, and God Dethroned. It’s a sound that’s captivating and destructive in equal measure, allowing the band to explore “our place in the cosmos and relationship to other intelligent life, if it exists.”
According to Simon White, the band’s primary composer and visionary, “Decoherence” is:
“about the fall into causality. The gratuitous absurdity of life. In a word; nauseating. The only way out is through. As Terence McKenna rightly observed: “I think it’s just going to get weirder and weirder, and weirder, and finally it’s going to be so weird that people are going to have to talk about how weird it is” This track encapsulates that escalating weirdness, reminding us that occasionally, we need to squeegee our third eyes.”
When you watch the video, you can sense some of Simon’s other named influences, particularly Nine Inch Nails — as the video very distinctly recalls the one for “Head Like a Hole.”
Cosmic Cenotaph is available digitally and will also be released on vinyl this Friday via Inner Hell Records.
