With its original inception founded by notorious Death Metal legend Kam Lee, AKATHARTA is a terrifying underworld entity of all unclean spirits; the debut album “Spiritus Immundus” brings forth a wrathful traverse into the macrocosm of the unspeakable.
Densely influenced by the scathing sounds of funeral drone-like masters such as Skepticism and Thergothon, “Spiritus Immundus” features actual EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) captured from all across the globe, giving the overall vibe a breath of dismal and otherworldly condemnation.
Recorded at several studio locations and with the mixing and mastering duties meticulously helmed by Dennis “DerClint” Israel at Clintworks (Amon Amarth, Misery Index, 3 Inches Of Blood, etc), album cover artwork by Malaysian illustrator Irwan Ironworx (Bone Gnawer, Deathevoker, etc) and also with the iconic Lord Of Logos Christophe Szpajdel (Emperor, Old Man’s Child, Enthroned, etc) putting his signature stamp on the band logo.
AKATHARTA’s debut album “Spiritus Immundus” was released on June 20th via Pulverised Records.
I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
