Following the brilliant reception to our release of Vorga this year, we’re thrilled to announce the next black metal release on our label which is of Sisyphean‘s highly anticipated full length album. The music is dissonant without being jarring and relies heavily on its emotive appeal, which is phenomenal. Pre-orders for the ‘Colours of Faith’ are slated to go live on March 4th, 2022. No Clean Singing premiered their artistic official video AT THIS LINK with the following words –
“The video, directed by Eglė Saka, underscores and amplifies the music’s overpowering intensity, presenting flashing, surrealistic scenes of human violence and false hope, of vulcanism and man-made disaster, of bare feet walking among maggots.”
Here’s the band’s statement about the video –
“The song reflects on our coming into this mortal plane and being the heirs to the reality created by our past. The past being a power we cannot influence and the present being the truth we have to endure. In the endless cycle, we inherit the earth and thus decide whether to sunder or preserve it for the next generations to come.”

Record Label – Transcending Obscurity Records

Intense as well as atmospheric, Lithuanian black metal band Sisyphean have the perfectly tempered sound for this style of music. Their inherent dissonance magnifies their expression, elevating them over hordes of predictable bands, but their real mastery is in crafting thrilling and engaging songs that are both coherent and fulfilling. Everything seems in place and is there for a reason, and they even cover a wide range of emotions, making it a well-rounded affair. Each song bears its own individual sentiment, somehow complementing the songs preceding it, as if carrying on from where the last one ended and doing something more with it. Clearly, it’s a brilliantly written and arranged album, providing for intuitive undulations of extremity and emotions, not only captivating your attention throughout but also moving you. Virtually flawless, ‘Colours of Faith’ is a massively ambitious yet sincere album that ought to be regarded as a landmark album in the style.
