about

Thematically, it is about the idea
that water, as the source of life,
will lead to our deaths if we don't
stop putting ourselves further into
an imbalance with it. Whether it is
marine pollution, floods, tidal
disasters, or rising sea levels;
these are consequences of a causal
chain originating from man, which
will prepare us an ominous fate if
we continue to conjure it.

lyrics

dominion at all cost,
since we crawled out of the slime.
captured in futility.
invoking world funeral to...

come, come, revengeful sea,
come forth and drown us in our forced decline.
come, come, irrevocable, menacing chaos,
with high tides it will appear in fatalism.

polluted water will fill human lungs,
before we will drown in the blackness so deep.
we flourish in decay, evoke the endless night to...

come, come, ominous depth,
from which we came from and by which we´ll die.
come, come, unavoidable, our fate of ruin.
from our filth it will arise in devastation.

as we open the veins of the earth,
our flesh becomes one with the waters of death.

ominous, uncontrollable force,
confront us with our deeds, resulting in hell.
the great extinction, unavoidable like the tides
engulfing life in the ominous depth.

dominion at all cost,
since we crawled out of the slime.
captured in futility.
enforcing world funeral to come.

about

Wound Germany

The Wiesbaden (Hessen/Germany) based band WOUND formed in 2011. Even if almost all styles of extreme music can be named as influences, the band feels part of the death metal scene. Over the 10 years of band history the songs have become more complex and melodic, however, the roots have not been lost. The lyrics are mostly treatises from real life and its abysses. ... more

Seven Crowns and Seven Seals
by Sulphur Aeon

supported by 47 fans who also own “Ominous Depth”

Blistering blackened death metal with haunting melody lines throughout. The melody never overcomes but rather gives hypnotizing testimony to the churning rhythms threatening to pull the listener below the waves. This is music by which to summon the Great Old Ones. Robert Royer

Lightly deathified dad rock - each song offers something different to the table. The Blue Öyster Cult energy is strong, the vocals charming, and the guitars absolutely enchanting! baguettalus

Tales Of Othertime

Masterful use of acoustic passages and synth stuff. This is definitely my favorite black metal-dungeon synth kinda album I've found recently. Each track flows into the next so well, I cannot recommend it enough. Perri

Personally, a small step down from what I like most about SA's world/music, but it's still a fantastic album! crabjuice
