DEADLIGHT SANCTUARY
Deadlight Sanctuary is a solo project of G. - the leader of Bestial Black Metal commando Goatkraft from Norway. The idea of the project matured a few years ago, but didn’t seriously begin to take shape until recently. The plan for G. was to create slow, heavy, and dark music with gloomy whispering vocals and primitive decaying atmospheres, lyrically and conceptually going down a perverted path of occultism and necromancy. Until mid 2018 the project was only an unfulfilled concept. The process of transforming it into reality began to crystalize around the end of 2018. Inspired for many years of absorbing the dark force and legacies of Demoncy and Beherit, G. started to arrange the first riffs that would eventually become the title song and namesake of the project - “Deadlight Sanctuary”. During the next months more songs were created until the bulk of the debut album "Thaumaturgical Rites of the Damned" began to fully take shape as a cohesive creation. The album was eventually recorded in June of 2019. Soon after, a cooperation between G. and Sentient Ruin Labolatories was established and then Goatkraft’s original label Iron Bonehead Productions also came into the picture to handle a Eurpean release of the debut album on physical formats slated for mid/summer 2020, adorned by glorious artwork delivered to the band by BMS Illustration from Caracas Venezuela (Cthonica, Tetragrammacide etc.).
