EMANATIONS Omiero CD

Emerging from the abyssal depths of the Chilean underground, Emanations delivers a terrifying and ritualistic experience with their debut album, Omiero. Released via the specialized label Qalmana, this work is a masterclass in dissonant and experimental Black/Death Metal. The title, Omiero, refers to the sacred liquid used in Santería and Orisha rituals, reflecting the band's deep immersion in the darker aspects of Afro-Caribbean and Latin American mysticism. The music is a suffocating vortex of cavernous riffs, erratic rhythmic shifts, and vocal performances that range from guttural whispers to possessed screams. Unlike traditional black metal, Emanations crafts a psychotropic atmosphere that feels like a fever dream, dragging the listener into a world of ritual sacrifice and spiritual decay. For those who follow the avant-garde paths of bands like Portal, Impetuous Ritual, or the legendary Chilean darkness of companies like Oranssi Pazuzu (in spirit) and the local scene's own technical prowess, Omiero is a disturbing and mandatory journey into the occult.
