The Peruvian abstract black metal project CULMEN has struck once again, delivering an atmospheric EP that pulls listeners into the depths of cosmic and philosophical mystery.

CULMEN was formed by the enigmatic mastermind known simply as “+,” a figure who prefers to let the music speak rather than revealing much about himself. Since its inception in 2002, CULMEN has established a dark and compelling identity within the black metal scene, rooted in Peruvian mythology and surreal storytelling. De un soplo la creación is no exception; it’s an ambitious exploration of what can only be described as a sonic ritual. The album opens with dissonant, unsettling guitar lines that echo with intensity, each track evoking vivid, surreal soundscapes. The production is raw and unfiltered, giving listeners the sense that they are hearing these performances within a dark, ritualistic setting, shrouded in mist and mystery.

The EP’s narrative is inspired by the philosophical musings of an “alter ego,” as “+” describes—a wise, world-weary sage who speaks in riddles and answers, providing a window into CULMEN’s abstract yet profound worldview. As De un soplo la creación progresses, themes of existential thought, dreamscapes, and cosmic struggle unfold. The atmosphere is thick and heavy, with guitar tones that range from piercingly cold to almost warm and mystical, adding depth to each composition. Tracks like “Ravaging the Cosmos” and “Reflections of the Eternal” showcase an interplay of harshness and mysticism, inviting listeners to dive deeper into CULMEN’s symbolic universe.

CULMEN’s work isn’t simply music—it’s a transcendental experience, blending black metal’s signature rawness with introspective and philosophical storytelling that speaks to the soul. The EP demonstrates “+”’s refined control over both sound and atmosphere, transporting listeners to a realm where traditional boundaries of black metal give way to ethereal, expansive soundscapes. With De un soplo la creación, CULMEN has crafted a release that is certain to leave a lasting impact on the genre.
