“Seven years on from Phobiate, and following a prolonged three-plus-year production period haunted by personal unrest, we bring you Binah’s third album, Ónkos.

Divided into two side-long acts, Ónkos takes a deep dive into the processes of illness, loss, and some of what is left (and sometimes exacerbated) in their wake. It is the result of a raw attempt to capture, verbalize and make sense of these themes almost in real time.

The album was once again recorded by the band, engineered by Aort with input from I.R.G. and illustrated by Jaume Mayans.

An honourable mention goes to A. Carrier who, after a decade of battering service, has vacated the stool to pursue his personal projects. On this new adventure, we are joined by old comrade Storm (Thine, My Dying Bride, Blasphemer, Bal Sagoth and many others).

Having already performed on stage 16 years ago in Germany as part of Code’s one-off 2008 live lineup, this album marks our first recording together.”

 

Recorded by Binah between January 2022 & August 2024
Mixed & mastered by Aort between August and September 2024
All songs by Binah
Artwork by Jaume Mayans
Layout & logo by Pino Fabelo

 

SALES POINTS

– Chronologically part of the so-called second “Old School Death Metal” wave of the early 2010s, Binah’s choice to stay away from live performance has allowed for an intense, single-minded focus on each release as an enduring piece of quality work.
– Having worked with some of the leading labels in the style (Osmose, Dark Descent, Me Saco Un Ojo), each Binah release has yielded highly receptive feedback from media channels both printed and digital, and wide acclaim among Death Metal maniacs.
– With members involved, over the years, in acts such as Code, Hexvessel, Indesinence, Esoteric, Thine, My Dying Bride, Pantheist, Axis of Perdition, Bal Sagoth and others, the band accrues decades of experience while occupying its own musical headspace.
– Ónkos offers a strong conceptual focus and a re-thought sense of structure, with two side-length pieces harking back to the epic trips by some of the more experimental underground names of the early-to-mid nineties (Timeghoul, Pan-Thy-Monium, etc).
– Stunning original artwork once again provided by renowned graphic artist Jaume Mayans, with layout by long-standing associate Pino Fabelo. Sonics and visuals carefully integrate to produce Binah’s hardest-hitting and most immersive work yet.
