Pittsburgh, US based symphonic death metal project Thy Shining Curse has unleashed its highly anticipated debut album “Theurgia” today, available via ViciSolum Productions. To commemorate the release of their new record, Thy Shining Curse has unveiled a gloomy music video for their latest single, “Lenore”.
Founded in 2021, Thy Shining Curse is the solo musical project of a death metal initiate, Leonidas, with a primary focus on the practice of hierurgical artistry through symphonic methexis and hermetic imagery. The band is dedicated to the vision of its founder, aiming to create an immersive mystical experience by invoking the archetypical instincts of man via powerful symbolism, following the principles of the Pythagorean tradition, the Eleusinian mysteries, Neoplatonism and Western Esotericism. The depiction of its members is purposefully avoided. Instead, two mysterious figures act as the band’s visual representatives, Celeus and Celeucis. Their purpose is to complement the auditory experience with a subliminal initiation to the visual language of symbols, acting as modern-day hierophants.
