“…an astonishing sonic spectacle that creates scenes of cataclysmic destruction and unchained madness…” – No Clean Singing
Long Island, New York occult black/death metal sect TELOCH VOVIN presents “Panzer Fist,” the sixteen-minute closing opus to their impending Towards The Inevitable album. The song arrives through a violent and epic visualizer, premiered today through No Clean Singing.
TELOCH VOVIN’s Towards The Inevitable combines black metal with elements of traditional, death, and doom metal, as well as classical and ambient/electronic sounds. These influences intertwine with the occult practice behind TELOCH VOVIN, creating a musical sound that is raw and violent while simultaneously captivating and hypnotic. Recorded several years ago for a split release which never materialized, the songs have since been revamped and updated with crushing production capturing the aggression and entrancing sound of the band.
The grand “Panzer Fist,” with a running time of just under sixteen minutes, closes the record with epic fury, it’s blackened might wrought with classical instrumentation. “‘Panzer Fist’ was written under the influence ov a Golachab working 2018-2019,” Grigori reveals. “As well as the suicide ov someone I was really close to. Rage builds to unbearable levels, unleashed the assault begins. Forward… Under the Dragon ov Deaths Banner, unto the Death’s Head True. Until all is nothing, and Nothingness is All!
“There is no political statement attached to ‘Panzer Fist;’ rather, the concept relates to the Enraged Divine Spirit, rebelling and attacking the very walls of life itself, seeking freedom beyond Matter and form!”
No Clean Singing’s premiere is adjoined by a deep dive into the song and overall album, its dissection reading in part, “It is instead an astonishing sonic spectacle that creates scenes of cataclysmic destruction and unchained madness, but also includes elegant, exotic, and unearthly melodic sensations that transport listeners into occult experiences. It presents chaos on a truly devastating scale but also becomes strangely spellbinding… The video accompanying this dynamic sonic spectacle matches the song’s main themes by presenting both documentary scenes of mechanized warfare and an occult ceremony, investigations of both human destructiveness and forces beyond the traumatized world.”

Formed by guitarist/vocalist Grigori, TELOCH VOVIN is a conceptual work expressing the worship and ritual workings with the Forces of khaos, entropy, and death. Enochian in its nature, “teloch” translates as “death,” and vovin translates as “dragon,” and is a reference to Samael the dragon of death, known in his fiery, destructive aspect as Satan.
Having built a rabid regional fanbase through five self-released titles while sharing the stage with Black Witchery, Negative Plane, Grave Gnosis, Kult Ov Azazel, Mortician, Shining, Black Anvil, Behexen, Hobb’s Angel Ov Death, and many more, TELOCH VOVIN thrived through the pandemic, performing successful live streams with Blood Feast, Sickbay, and Malignancy, while releasing multiple self-produced tracks.
The drums for Towards The Inevitable were recorded/engineered by Ash at The Percussion Bunker, the bass recorded by Saturnus at The Grotto, and C.O.S.’ guitars self-recorded/engineered at Wind’s Lord Studios, Grigori’s guitars and all vocal recordings as well as the album’s mixing/mastering duties were handled by Mike Usifer (Prime Evil) – who has since joined the band – at Usifer Sound Studios and Aural Assault Studio. In addition to the band’s wide cast of members’ contributions, the record features a guest guitar solo by Sebastian Ramstedt (Necrophobic, Elfödd, In Aphelion), Hebrew language passages spoken by Avi Levi, and the four-part closing suite “Panzer Fist” is intertwined with layers of classical elements of violin, viola, and cello performed and recorded by Ben Karas at Frightbox Recording Studios, with additional classical compositions by Stephen Morris and Grigori.
