Postponement

In recent Months I cathaoir have been having lots of bloodwork, a severe infection, oral surgery and on Tichondrius status, he had an accident involving a pipe saw, and injured his back while working as well, thus we have been trying to get back to our 100%, all that is left is bass and vocals, we already know what were going to do for the mastering, the artwork and all of that. Rest assured we will be continuing and Echelon 666 shall be released, so far its atmospheric, eiree, moments of shredding, frantic solos, fast paced drums, imagine early bathory type of sound and musicaly like a cross between Emperor and Dark Funeral blended through currents of the river Styx.

Echelon 666 update:
We have been having alot of changes in our lives with work schedules, Tichondrius' Metal Blade necessities, shows, and we have finaly gotten into a practice routine, a premix before the bass and vocals are being finished, and we may play show(s) in the new year as well. Time will tell.

statement from Cathaoir:
"It's been a long process but we have let the album naturally evolve during this year and its a new plateau of Diminishment's Music. Relentless, Dark, Obscure and Lyriccaly powerfall, it will be a tale lending to the oblivion of hope itself."

At this time the album is T.B.A. 2011

Tichondrius' Ipsissimus signs to Metal Blade

I cathaoir am with honour to annouce that Tichondrius' black metal band IPSISSIMUS is now part of the Metal Blade Records Artist Roster!

I have personally worked with the band mastering several releases including the famed 3 secrets of Fatima EP which was also mixed by the legendary Jeff Weed, and may also do a website for the band. I am also quite happy that Jeff and I's combined audio skills made a very unique and inspiring release when combined by the talents of Ipsissimus. This audio experience has also been brought to the media's attention in several well known magazines.

IPSISSIMUS is:
Tichondrius: Bass / Vocals
Haimatokharmes: Drums
His Emissary: Guitar


About the band:
IPSISSIMUS was founded when His Emissary (guitars) and Haimatokharmes (drums) met by providence on 6/6/06 in New Haven, CT, and found in one another worthy vessels of channeling the occult philosophies into ritual Black Metal. In November of that year, Tichondrius (bass/vocals) completed the trinity. Within a month they were playing concerts and released the demo Trampling the Host, a potent exercise in raw, blasting Black Metal. Over the following years, they established a reputation across New England for technical yet raw live performances, sharing the stage with both local and established Black Metal groups, such as Nachtmystium, Enslaved, Dark Funeral, Krallice, and Watain. In February 2008, IPSISSIMUS independently released the Three Secrets of Fatima EP, a complex and melodic triptych that thrust them to the forefront of the burgeoning American Black Metal scene. In June, IPSISSIMUS played the Three Secrets of Fatima EP start to finish to a very enthusiastic crowd when the band opened up for legendary EYEHATEGOD and Nachtmystium. Matching their music to orations of black piety that draw from esoteric traditions antique and modern, often composed in the dead tongues of the ancients themselves, IPSISSIMUS initiates the listener to a Left-Hand Gnosis with a unique and irrefutable statement of American Black Metal.
