Polish black metal institution BLACK ALTAR has just premiered their haunting and esoteric new lyric video for the track “In the Labyrinths of Sitra Achra” , exclusively via No Clean Singing . The track is taken from the acclaimed three-way split Drakonian Elitism , released earlier this year through Odium Records , featuring BLACK ALTAR alongside Sweden’s Ofermod and Greece’s Acherontas .
Originally formed in 1998 and helmed by the enigmatic Shadow , BLACK ALTAR has built a deep discography of albums, splits, EPs, and compilations. “In the Labyrinths of Sitra Achra” is one of four songs contributed by the band to Drakonian Elitism , and this new video adds a visual layer to the already intense sonic ritual.
In their feature, No Clean Singing describes the track as:
“Possessed, sinister, lustful, defiant, and ecstatically fierce... Shadow’s gritty vocals narrate a deep dive into the labyrinthine abyss of transgression, seeking rebirth under the light of a black sun.”
Lyrically and thematically, the song delves into Kabbalistic mysticism , invoking the Left-Hand Path, the Tree of Death, and entities such as Lilith, Samael, Baal, and various Qliphothic spheres including A’arab Zaraq, Thagirion, and Thaumiel. The result is a piece that is both mythologically rich and musically ferocious.
The lyric video was created using ritual footage by Totenkult and expertly assembled by Audiopower Studio , making it a fitting visual representation of the song’s spiritual depth and raw power.
