German death metallers Sulphur Aeon is streaming the music video for “Diluvial Ascension – Gateway To The Antisphere” below. The song is off their sophomore album Gateway To The Antisphere, out April 3, 2015 via Imperium Productions and Van Records.

Fifty-two minutes of debilitating yet enthralling, black-tinged, Lovecraftian death suck the listener in like an inescapable vortex, as visually depicted in the mind-blowing cover artwork (with the emphasis on “art”) was created by Ola Larsson.
