Helter Skelter Productions - Blood Harvest Records (distributed & marketed by Regain Records) are proud to announce the CD release of Jyotisavedangas debut album "Thermogravimetry Warp Continuum" on CD. On June 6th Larval Productions released the vinyl version & to complete the release of this masterpiece we will now release it on CD on the 26th of November.
JYOTISAVEDANGA are a pan-international entity featuring guitarist Sadist from Indian black/grind/noise iconoclasts Tetragrammacide; H. from Russia’s esteemed Sickrites on synths, noise, and effects; AR, from emerging Kolkata cult Banish, on vocals; and prolific Ukrainian drummer Dimitry Kim (Sickrites, Goatpsalm, Do Skonu et. al.). While war metal undoubtedly forms the foundation of JYOTISAVEDANGA’s multi-dimensional attack, it is but a mere tool to be wielded – and, more suitably, malformed. For Thermogravimetry Warp Continuum is indeed a warp continuum sucking vortex-ward the most diseased and depraved decibels lurking within the all-too-often mutually exclusive scenes of black metal and power electronics, splicing various DNA and mincing its residual strains.
As such, the album is more accurately an experience rather than an “album” per se; worlds open up, and then are destroyed. To experience Thermogravimetry Warp Continuum is to literally be devastated: there is no escape, and there is no mercy. Those of hardier constitutions will still be largely unprepared for the overwhelming onslaught JYOTISAVEDANGA so effortlessly create. The album comprises six central tracks in a time-evaporating 29 minutes, but when the portals to one’s pain threshold have been freely opened, that length can seem both far longer and far shorter than anticipated, for a wealth of subtle, studiously exacted details are woven dynamically into Thermogravimetry Warp Continuum‘s very fabric. To say the album is “dense” is as vast an understatement as the record itself.
And yet, despite this very tangible (and very threatening) physicality, Thermogravimetry Warp Continuum is not all crude ultraviolence for its own sake. JYOTISAVEDANGA are named after Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa, one of the earliest known Indian texts on astronomy and astrology, and their lyricism – and overall aesthetic aims, for that matter – are steeped in the meeting point between the two as well as the latent occultism underpinning such a conjunction. This much was at least etched into their debut demo from 2016, Cannibal Coronal Mass Ejections, but has reached critical mass on their full-length debut album. But to pull the veil back too far would be to reveal too much of the trio’s inner workings, and it’s often best to allow the alchemy to do what it may…

Harsh, dissonant, frightening and even a little bit unnerving. All this can be said about Void Masquerading as Matter - but it is also complex, immersive (if you are not repelled), fascinating and rousing (in the sense of: dragging you into the abyss). How ever you describe the music of Thantifaxath for yourself it's clear what this music is not: conventional and boring. Go ahead, dare to make the trip. The reward is there. mourner

This album is like staring into a possessed mirror. You see your reflection, it's somewhat human, but in the background, demons are viciously clawing at your back. Definitely going to make my year end list for 2021. Robert C. Kozletsky

Every release I listen to is going to be compared to the standard that this album sets.
This is 9 years of work compressed into 61 minutes of absolute glory and a proof of Wann's deep love for the genre.
Holy shit, what an album. Truly, what an album. Ultimhate
