IPSISSIMUS: New Album Title Revealed

January 13, 2011

New Haven, Connecticut-based black metallers IPSISSIMUS are putting the finishing touches on their new album, "The Way Of Descent", for a spring release via Metal Blade Records.

Commented drummer Haimatokharmes: "The [album] title aims to encapsulate the lyrical matter of the new songs, which deal with various katagogic themes in Gnostic, Luciferian, and Merkavah traditions as applied to Left Hand ethics and praxis.

"We finished the recording in October and the beginning of November at Sonic Environments Studios with our 'sonic alchemist' (producer and mixer) Jeff Weed.

"It's an interesting sound, at turns raw and filthy, yet also warm and spacious, which I suppose is fitting for hymns to the abyss.

"Expect some traditional black, melodic riffage à la the 'Fatima' material as well as the occasional avant-garde element. I believe this will be the first black metal album to employ a waterphone."

IPSISSIMUS will provide direct support for TOXIC HOLOCAUST on January 13 at Daniel St. in Milford, Connecticut. The band will also take part in day one of Boston's "No Life Fest" at the Midway Cafe in Jamaica Plain on Saturday, March 5. A show at the Union Pool in Brooklyn, New York with THE SECRET and THE FUNERAL PYRE will follow on Sunday, March 27.

IPSISSIMUS is:

Tichondrius: Bass / Vocals
Haimatokharmes: Drums
His Emissary: Guitar
