Avtotheism is an Italian death metal band formed in 2016. 2021 debut The Sleeper Awakens showcased the band’s many influences, particularly the presence of sulphuric, atmospheric and dark ambient elements.
Reflections Of Execrable Stillness is Avtotheism sophomore album, and consists of two parts. The first four tracks are brand-new, unreleased material composed in 2022, while the second part is a single, challenging 17-minute song written between 2016 and 2017. These two parts deal with different topics, yet are inherently linked, as the first is a concept revolving around the relationship between Man and Nature, the cyclic nature of time and events. The second, on the other hand, is a monolithic song focusing on the connection between Man and God.
We are entangled in illusions of movement
Lying into incarnations of hush
With a beautiful painting by Vama Marga (Depths Above) and a guest solo by Matteo Gresele (Ad Nauseam) on “Incarnations Of Hush”, Avtotheism new opus will see the light on CD, LP and digital next October via Avantgarde Music’s death metal division, Unorthodox Emanations.
