Born at the end of 2017, ÔROS KAÙ is "the result of an inner existential crisis that had been boiling for too long and ended up erupting like a volcano in all its fury; a violent and relentless fight against the ego aimed at its destruction." The words of the mysterious musician behind the Belgian one-man black metal project leave no room for doubt: first and foremost, ÔROS KAÙ is the vehicle of a compulsive and cathartic act of creation, lead by intuition and primordial instincts. Borrowed from Greco-Egyptian Hermeticism, the band's name literally means "Pisces Aries", indicating the transmutation of the being from one to the other.
"Imperii Templum Aries" is a mythical representation of Aries in Astrology. The album is its temple, and CZLT's artwork perfectly encircles the various concepts it addresses, from Goetia to the studies on ego by Austin Osman Spare, one of the most fascinating artists, magicians and occultists of the 20th Century.
