2nd full-length of this blackened death metal entity, long anticipated since Codex II: Kether.
A blackened death metal juggernaut, Hoath emerged from the darkness
during the summer of 2002, spawned forth a demo titled Codex I: I.R.E. a
year later and remained in the shadows until Finnish underground label
Hammer Of Hate proposed to release an album, which came out in 2004 as
Codex II: K.E.T.H.E.R. Then as it is now, the persons involved are not
important within Hoath: the lineup has been shifting from one being to
another all the time, as boundless as the wisdom within. For the past
decade, Hoath was remained dormant, yet it was finally time to unleash
the full energies concealed in this entity and prepare for the imminent.
A pact was signed with Saturnal Records for the upcoming full-length,
Codex III: Crown Of The Mind, and preparations have begun to bring your
sons and daughters to the slaughter on arenas of blood all over the
crumbling world.
The goals of Hoath are to create raw and thundering music without the
typical "fuck Christ/legions of Hell" type of lyrical approach. The
lyrics of Hoath are both ritualistic chants, quotes, and direct
guidelines to life under stern principles - the code of life and belief,
their strength and wisdom - for the musical content of Hoath has a lot
more to offer than just pure aggression. In the band's view, there was
no reason to create music solely as listenable fancy, but rather as a
medium to express and spread their beliefs. Hoath is a call to wake the
dormant soul of true man, to rid one from the chains of modern
moralistic views. They stir the waters to wake the storms!
Finally, after 13 years from the debut album, Hoath's long-ripened
second full-length will arrive bearing the title Codex III: Crown Of The
Mind. That title and also its ominous cover art paint a portrait of its
contents: a restlessly gestating, all-consuming nethervoid of ancient
energies and even-more-ancient dirt, disturbed from its eternal slumber
by billowing winds of black-death supremacy. It is the iron fist in the
face of complacency and dormancy, from scene veterans who've patiently
waited to reap the whirlwind. Bear witness to who wears the Crown of the
Mind and bow before it!
