"Tenth Region of the Night" - This demo is a journey through the river of stars and into the tenth region of the night, where the chaos serpent Apep/Apophis lurks, awaiting to strike Ra and devour his Ka. Time is reversed and darkness consumes the light.
In this abyss we are one of many coils, Apeps circle tightening to strangle and crush the living world, creation shall be un-made as we enter reverse into the mirrors of this world. Nothing shall halt the desire for primal chaos and the unquenchable thirst to drain the blood of this world.
Dark, melancholic and raw Black Metal.
Lyrics for this demo were written by Akhtya Nachttoter/Michael Ford.
"A Gleam in the Eye of Set" - For the first time on tape this EP of Majestic, Melancholic & Setapophian Black Metal!
Apep/Apophis the serpent of chaos, disorder & the abyss has existed before conceptualized time, ancient and immortal having risen up from the waters of primeval chaos which preceded the creation of the cosmos.
Apophis attacks the Solar boat of Ra nightly and beholds a terrible roar which threatens to bring chaos to the cosmological prison of time and order. Apep is the Vampyric hunger and predatory instincts inherent in living beings, including to an extent the Neteru (Gods) of the Ennead. Apophis has long been identified with Set, the God of Chaos, Darkness, Storms and War, yet is the Neter which brings balance and maintains Ra by holding back the unrestrained disorder of Apep. It was only Set who could withstand the magical powers of Apophis, who nightly would attack Ra and the gods who sailed on the solar barge through the tenth region of the night. Set mastered and conquered Apep, channeling his darkness and primal chaos into temporary Order by his spear of war... Yet this cycle is eternal!
With lyrics written by Akhtya Nachttoter!

"World Devourer" - This is the third in Drowning the Light's series of ancient Egyptian darkness, following on from "A Gleam in the Eye of Set" & "Tenth Region of the Night" and this is the first time it will be released on tape.
Once again delving into Sets mastery over the primal unrestrained chaos serpent of the night that is Apep (Apophis), this EP contains 4 tracks of raw, melancholic and majestic Setapophian Black Metal!
In the Abyss not only does one use the Black Flame to conquer Apophis, but one also merges with the serpent ("Set-Apep" or "Setapophis"), this Black Magick is both the creator and devourer of worlds! Beyond the laws of nature and perceived "reality".
The dawn of the Setapophian Aeon is upon us.
"Dungeon Rehearsal" - This demo is a rehearsal recorded in late September 2007 in the Tasmanian dungeon as a lead up to the utter chaos that was the "Occult Nocturnal Ritual" gig. This rehearsal includes a Judas Iscariot cover.
Originally released in 2008 on tape.
