Am 21. Dezember erscheint bei Cyclic Law das Debütalbum “Transubstantiatio” des kanadischen Duos Sublimatio Mortis, bestehend aus Chris von Undirheimar und Mo Masaya von Kemet. Inspiriert von der spirituellen Tiefe eines Schweige-Retreats in einem Benediktinerkloster, erschafft das Album eine düstere, rituelle Klangwelt, die in eine meditative Reise zu den Ursprüngen und Geheimnissen der Transsubstantiation eintauchen lässt. Mit rauen, schleppenden Texturen und grummelnden Stimmen kombiniert “Transubstantiatio” dröhnende rituelle Ambientsoundse mit philosophischer Tiefe. Die Veröffentlichung erfolgt als limitierte CD-Edition mit 24-seitigem Booklet im A5-Digisleeve und zum Download.

“The enigmatic Canadian duo Sublimatio Mortis, featuring Chris of Undirheimar & Mo Masaya de Kemet, unveils their first release, Transubstantiatio—a profound auditory journey into the sacred and the unseen. Born out of introspection during a silent retreat at a Benedictine monastery, the duo channels the spiritual intensity of monastic life into a transcendent exploration of sound and vibration. Rooted in the ancient and alchemical concept of transubstantiation, the album draws inspiration from the Eucharist ritual, where bread and wine transform into the body and blood of Christ. However, Sublimatio Mortis delves deeper into the origins of this rite, tracing its lineage to the Mithraic mysteries, while transcending both historical and theological boundaries to reclaim its universal essence.
At its core, Transubstantiatio is a meditation on the human experience of separation from the First Principle—the uncreated Oneness. Through layers of inner alchemy, the duo seeks to strip away the gross material veils imposed by sensory perception and reconnect with the eternal, boundless essence that lies beyond time and space. This sonic journey is not bound by dogma but serves as an invitation for individual introspection—a ritual to be experienced within the solitude of one’s inner temple. With their distinct ritualistic approach to sound, Sublimatio Mortis transforms abstract philosophy into visceral sonic textures, offering a deeply immersive listening experience. No guidelines are given, no expectations imposed—Transubstantiatio is meant to resonate uniquely within each listener, awakening the sacred in silence and solitude. The album is both a spiritual offering and a profound call to rediscover the transcendence within”. (Cyclic Law)
