The enigmatic Canadian duo Sublimatio Mortis, featuring Chris of Undirheimar & Mo Masaya of Kemet, unveils their first release, Transubstantiatio—a profound auditory journey into the sacred and the unseen. Born out of introspection during a silent retreat at a Benedictine monastery, the duo channels the spiritual intensity of monastic life into a transcendent exploration of sound and vibration.

Rooted in the ancient and alchemical concept of transubstantiation, the album draws inspiration from the Eucharist ritual, where bread and wine transform into the body and blood of Christ. However, Sublimatio Mortis delves deeper into the origins of this rite, tracing its lineage to the Mithraic mysteries, while transcending both historical and theological boundaries to reclaim its universal essence.

At its core, Transubstantiatio is a meditation on the human experience of separation from the First Principle—the uncreated Oneness. Through layers of inner alchemy, the duo seeks to strip away the gross material veils imposed by sensory perception and reconnect with the eternal, boundless essence that lies beyond time and space. This sonic journey is not bound by dogma but serves as an invitation for individual introspection—a ritual to be experienced within the solitude of one’s inner temple.

With their distinct ritualistic approach to sound, Sublimatio Mortis transforms abstract philosophy into visceral sonic textures, offering a deeply immersive listening experience. No guidelines are given, no expectations imposed—Transubstantiatio is meant to resonate uniquely within each listener, awakening the sacred in silence and solitude.

The album is both a spiritual offering and a profound call to rediscover the transcendence within. As Sublimatio Mortis articulates: “We are but strangers here, seeking to return to the infinite.”

For fans of ritual ambient, mystical drone, and those seeking music that defies the boundaries of genre and reality alike, Transubstantiatio is a must-experience release.
