New album by Russian ritual ambient entity Corona Barathri, offering 4 rituals, 4 sacrificial stones as the foundation of this opus. Enthralling incantations merge with deep ceremonial atmospherics, immersing one into the realm of ritualistic fervour. A foreboding aural channeling of dark forces by Chthonia, Darkarma and Hekte Zaren which also features appearances by Martyria and Nam-Khar. Recorded in 2018-2020 the album is dedicated to the memory of Andrey Kein (Corona Barathri).

The rituals are aimed at:

• I. Liberation of and ancient witch's soul sealed in stone. Now she is free. Forever in Darkness.

• II. A Witch is calling to the Black Heart standing by the funeral pyre...With her blood, mortal flesh and bones, she feeds the blazing flame...It burns everything that is human and divine.

• III. The call to Astaroth. Revelations coming through the Breath of Darkness. Sinister Wisdom granted to all unholy souls. Insanity for the children of the Earth.

• IV. Descent into the depths of the Dark. Into Tartarus. Homecoming.
