In the abyss before time, where the feathered serpent uncoiled in the darkness, the Popol Vuh whispers of creation’s dawn. Born from the void, gods with eyes like obsidian conjured mountains from nothingness and sculpted men from maize. Heroes rise, twins born of blood and sacrifice, destined to conquer the lords of Xibalba, a shadowy underworld teeming with whispers and decay. Yet, victory is fleeting, and even the sun and moon bear the scars of this cosmic struggle, their celestial dance a haunting reminder of the fragile balance between life and oblivion. Volahn returns with their third offering of ancestral Mayan black metal. The Black Twilight Circle continues the legacy of kings with Volahns crowning opus as its self-bloodletting sacrifice. While continuing the classic French/Russian black metal vanguard, Volahn dives deep to pursue the BTC dichotomy of unnerving dread and piercing triumphant soundscapes.
