After several international tours alongside Vader, Marduk, Belphegor, Batushka, Hate, and Vomitory, Skaphos retreated for a while to focus and release their third album.

« Cult of Uzura » is a dark and agressive album that delves into the depths of Black Death Metal. It drowns listeners into a mystical and oceanic world where mens devote a cult to Uzura, an abyssal god who inspires both fear and fascination.

With « Cult of Uzura », Skaphos takes us on a violent odyssey where razor-sharp guitar riffs, infernal drum rhythms, and guttural growls resonate like the chants of devotees. Each track on the album is an incantation that explores themes of devotion, sacrifice, and the destructive power of occult forces. The compositions switch between slow and heavy parts with tribal rythms and fast and dissonants riffs carried by savage blast beat which reflect the duality of worship and terror inspired by Uzura.

« Cult of Uzura » is an immersive experience. The gloomy and sharp arrangements create an oppressive ambiance that grips the listener from the first note and never lets go. The carefully crafted sound textures plunge into the depths of the sea, where the deepest fears and unspoken desires reside.
