Khnvm * Cosmocrator [New LP]

With their fourth album "Cosmocrator", Khnvm are entering a downward spiral into the abyss of the human experience. The death metal brainiacs explore the crossroads of psychology, philosophy, and spirituality. The album title "Cosmocrator" carries a dual significance. It symbolises the "Ruler of the World" and, within religious vocabulary, also stands for "Satan". This reflects the album's exploration of common phenomena, expressed through an adrenaline-fueled artistic lens. With the thought-provoking lyrics and harsh yet to the point musicality of "Cosmocrator", Khnvm promise not to just deliver on musical terms but also to captivate those who are drawn to complex narratives and philosophical depth. Khnvm are a death metal band that has walked the line between old school death metal and contemporary influences without stumbling. Fronted by Bangladeshi-born guitarist and vocalist Obliterator, the band was founded and is firmly based in Germany. When Khnvm entered the scene with their debut album "Foretold Monuments of Flesh" on Testimony Records in 2019, they were immediately met with acclaim both from critics and fans alike. In the wake of the second album, "Portals to Oblivion" (2021), Khnvm began to perform live. Meanwhile, Khnvm have toured, entered stages at many festivals, and played headliner and support shows across Europe. With "Cosmocrator", Khnvm offer a dual approach: The easy way is to enjoy the album simply for it's outstanding musical merit. Yet there is also the far more winding path to take with it's intricate lyrics and rich thoughts to be analysed, explored, and discussed for many years to come - and new meanings to be found as well as discoveries of fresh ideas to be made with each new turn!
