On 'Ghostigmatah - Spiritual Rites of the Psychopomp Abxulöm', sole member Asthâghul continues to evolve his esoteric and brutal form of experimental black metal. The album balances withering blast beats and dissonant, technical guitar work against layers of haunting symphonic synthesizers, psychedelic textures, and folk instrumentation like the nyckelharpa. Thematically, the songwriting constructs an arcane narrative centered on a soul's journey, with multi-layered, demonic vocals serving as the guide through dense, impenetrable, and meticulously composed soundscapes.
