wulfdown Ctulu Fhtagn should be made into a video with Dethklok as the stars. Epically intense and catchy!! time to get some more from these guys and watch some good horror movies. Favorite track: Ctulu Fhtagn.
Anatomy of the Heads

Anatomy of the Heads Cut off from critical scrutiny, and devoured by delusions of grandeur, these children of fortune walk and step securely in all places dark and mysterious, while embracing the ecclesiastical history of non-Euclidean space. Favorite track: Ctulu Fhtagn.

about

Ctulu, a black metal horde hailing from Northern Germany, have spent their career honing their sound through a number of recorded releases and live shows with the likes of Inquisition, Alcest and others. - DECIBEL MAGAZINE

One of the aspects of this EP that makes it so good is the band’s skill at changing courses and interweaving diverse musical styles. And so “Ctulu Fhtagn” also includes some classic metal riffing, riveting lead work, and deep, stately clean vocals that bring to mind Vikings at the prow of a longboat. - NO CLEAN SINGING

Ctulu creates another recording that remains true to the raw and melodic style of black metal from previous releases while also progressing with their style, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics are based upon the writings of H.P Lovecraft. - OCCULT BLACK METAL ZINE

The only thing that is different, compared to most records in this genre, is the mixing and production is spectacular compared to sounding like it was recorded on a shitty mobile phone. If there was a film about Lovecraft character, the great and powerful Cthulhu being made then ‘Ctulu Fhtagn’ would be the perfect track to be featured. - UBER ROCK

The EP was recorded at the same time as the current longplayer. The band wanted to reduce both works to the absolutely essential, with never before so many ideas were sorted out. At the same time, "Cultus in Tenebris" is a concept EP that tries to capture the spirit of the Necronomicon. The four titles included are the quintessence of wild exoticism, a tribute to the ancient gods. More infos coming soon! (via Goggle Translate) - METAL UNDERGROUND

"Cultus in Tenebris" is a concept EP that tries to catch the spirit of Necronomicon rituals. It is a gathering of exotic weirdness, of seeing in the dark, of praising the old, capricious, mad and wild gods. This is Ctulu’s first genuine U.S. release. - METAL UNDERGROUND

The band explained: "I have owned one EP and one EP only during my entire life. Slayer's Haunting The Chapel has always been one of my favorite works by this band. There's not a single note too much, the atmosphere is dense and black and every track is a killer. Sadly, the EP format is used very rarely today although it's a great challenge to gather only killers and to compress everything you write to its utmost quality. This is what we tried to do during our last writing sessions. - METAL STORM

'Cultus in Tenebris' is a 4 track EP from German act Ctulu and is considered to be second wave black metal. Upon listening however, it seems a little more progressive than just traditional black metal. The music is definitely black metal throughout but the vocals tend to be more of a mixture with black, death, clean, and chanting all being present. - MAXIMUM METAL
