Kadath is a melodic black metal album rooted in a cold atmosphere, occult visions, and Lovecraftian darkness. Inspired by the melodic aggression of Dissection, Horna, Thulcandra, Stormruler, and Stormkeep, the album blends icy tremolo riffs, blast-beat intensity, epic melodies, and a medieval sense of darkness. Lyrically, Kadath explores depression, eternal cold, cosmic horror, ancient gods, and the dreamlike search for the unknown city. Written in English, Russian, and Finnish, the album reads like a ritual manuscript of suffering, frost, and madness. With artwork shaped by stained glass, parchment textures, masked figures, and sacred ruins, Kadath stands as a cinematic journey into eternal night.

Antithetic emerges from the ruins of sleep: melodic black metal shaped by frozen sorrow, occult visions, and the dreamlands
of Kadath. Through masks, ritual imagery, and multilingual chants, the band turns Lovecraftian myth into a descent through grief, cosmic terror, and the search for peace beyond the waking world, flesh, and flame.
