Ershetu - Yomi (Digipak)

Comes in a 4-panel digipack w/ an 8-page booklet. First batch comes in black polycarbonate CD.

Cinematic Black Metal project ERSHETU was formed in 2021 by conceptualist/lyricist Void and composer Sacr to explore formulations of Death within particular civilizations or religions.

After tackling Mayan mythology via evocative 2023 debut "Xibalba", new album "Yomi" finds the band – now featuring Vindsval (BLUT AUS NORD) on lead vocals - growing in confidence and stature, heading to deeper and darker climes as they immerse themselves in the death folklore of Japanese Shinto.

Composer Sacr has woven an aptly-dualistic tapestry where ritual percussion, orchestration and atmospherics - including tones derived from the Koto, Shamisen and other traditional musical instruments of Japan - meet full-throttle and cerebral Black Metal power, as earworm melodies resolve into tumultuous states of mind and shadowed existential meditations.
