US black metal, second album. A project of Taurus of Gauntlet Ring and Arbor.
"Taurus’ Atheosophia has, until now, been defined by raw immediacy and unyielding force. Though that feral spirit remains unquenched—destined to rise anew in future rites—How Dark the Heavens: Coronation in the Blood of the Innocent ventures toward the brink of a yawning abyss. Here, Atheosophia descends into primordial depths, incubating a sound at once more demanding, abstract, and deeply ritualistic in purpose.
For Atheosophia, this evolution is not a softening but an occult distillation of its essence. More deliberate compositions and a heightened, otherworldly atmosphere imbue How Dark the Heavens with a ceremonial intensity, solidifying it both as an outlier and as the project’s purest, heathenist expression of black hateful metal to date." -label
