ghost in the glow demo |prod. anticon

[Fadein instrumental]

[Verse 1]
The very ground spins,
and the space beneath me shifts,
pulling away from reality.
A voice calls from somewhere within the walls,
but it tangles in
The strands of ages past.

[Verse 2]
I reach out,
but the shadows arrive first,
brushing my fingers with an icy chill.
The aether grows thick,
bending in on itself,
as if it tries to trap my breath.

[Instrumental bridge]

[Verse 3]
In the corner, a figure stands ominous,
its reflection stretching across the room,
as though it watches inquisitively.
The clock’s hands split open,
unwinding hours I do not know I’ve lost,
each second destroyed by the one after.

[Verse 4]
The lights flicker,
and I glimpse a distorted visage,
but it vanishes before I can focus.
The mansion grows,
and every door leads only into more abyss,
each one a vestigial trap I cannot elude.

[Instrumental bridge]

[Verse 5]
The walls groan,
and the flagstone buckles,
as if something ancient stirs beneath.
I try to retreat,
but the floor becomes nothing,
pulling me within with every step.

[Instrumental bridge]

[Verse 6]
My lungs taste metallic,
Coated in the residue of something long forgotten,
best left undisturbed forevermore.
A crackle whispers from somewhere unseen,
yet it feels as though it comes from within,
My own twisted, broken mind.
(My own twisted, broken mind.)

[Instrumental bridge]

[Verse 7]
Above me, the ceiling rips open,
revealing a darkness that has never existed,
A novel, unnameable emptiness, uninvited.
- Something - is birthing its way through the halls,
its grip tightening around the aeons,
Strangling reality in its path.

[Verse 8]
The walls bleed with malice and hunger,
but it feels like it knows my scent.
As if it is familiar to me.
I think I hear someone call for help,
but when I turn, the space is empty—
It was me.
(Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!)

[Instrumental bridge]

[Verse 9]
Words slip my grasp,
no longer fitting the shape of my tongue,
narrowing and oblong.

[Distortion Echo]
Ia'r-lhilh'naoth, akl'hal'nan gh'thothom;
(Ia'r-lhilh'naoth, akl'hal'nan gh'thothom;)
tekthorr ash'nay, y'lun'tho.
(tekthorr ash'nay, y'lun'tho.)
M'yh'nthix til'kraashn.
(M'yh'nthix til'kraashn.)
Z'hannoth j'y'ylah, N'grith'khul!
(Z'hannoth j'y'ylah, N'grith'khul!)
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
(Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn)

Full-length release from Katakan - The Crimson Liturgy
Drenched in isolation, blasphemy, and memory warped by the cold.
Written and recorded in seclusion, this album carries the stench of rusted iron, broken ritual, and the kind of silence that presses down like soil on a fresh grave. It stands firmly rooted in the tradition of raw, hostile black metal.
Includes two bonus versions of "Vanhellic Sermon of Spite" and "Lycanthropic Crucifixion" captured during earlier demo and rehearsal sessions. Also features a cover of Life Eternal by Mayhem as a final nod toward the roots from which this offering rises.

Not recommended for casual listeners. This is for those who know what waits in the dark.

Line-up:
Count Kaelthen - keyboards, vocals, drum programming, drums, lyrics (2025-present)
Moorvan - guitars, bass, composition, lyrics
E.S-W - Cover art, helping with casette art, mix and mastering on track 14 and 15.
