CODEX POTHAMUS - Out in the fall of 2025

The Codex Pothamus is a deep, reflective plunge into the universe of Pothamus - a written companion to the sound, vision, and spirit of the band. Diving deep into the philosophy behind Pothamus, the book weaves thought, symbolism, and elemental connection into a world both ancient and yet-to-come.

This written relic offers a mosaic of meaning. A layered and fluid exploration of the liminal: where sound becomes purpose, and purpose returns to silence. It is a manifesto, a meditation on mythos and mysticism, and a map to the inner river that runs beneath us all.

The words and reflections in this book unveil the textures of thought that breathe through our music. A guide for the seekers, the listeners, and all those who feel.

A handful of behind‑the‑veil glimpses of our performance at @dunkfestival , captured through the ever‑watchful eye of Céline Gladiné.

As the lights of our lastshows have finally sunken back into the soil, the fire of creativity summons us back inward to the dim and dark. New shapes are stirring.

Yesterday was our third time playing Dunk!festival, and the first time in the legendary forest. Truly sacred ground.

It felt like a homecoming. @dunkfestival has played quite a shaping role in the band´s existence. Some of the performances that carved themselves deepest in our own forming happened here.

Over the years, Dunk! became more than a mere festival to us. It offered a sense of belonging, and connection - not coincidentally a core tenet of our philosophy.

The many people we´ve met over the years and especially the beautiful souls behind Dunk! themselves have come to feel like family to us.

Thank you for creating this space, for all the care, love and endless work behind every moment of this coming-together. Our heartfelt appreciation and love to the whole dunk!crew 🖤

"Bana göre müzik, hâlâ tamamen bir amaç uğruna araçsallaştırılmamış nadir alanlardan biri. Kelime oyunu gibi oldu ama “araç” ve “amaç” meselesi burada da kendini gösteriyor. Müzik, verimlilik ve fayda düşüncesini bir süreliğine askıya alıp insanlara ortak bir zaman ve deneyim hissi yaşatabilir. Yani insanları bir araya getiren, neredeyse ritüel gibi hissedilen bir alan açabilir.

Bu yüzden müziğimiz de daha ağır, daha meditatif bir yöne doğru ilerliyor."

Müzik ile metafiziği harmanlayan sludge/post-metal grubu Belçika kökenli Pothamus ile yaptığımız röportaja web sitemiz üzerinden ulaşabilirsiniz. Röportajda sosyolojiden Batı ezoterizmine, Budizm'den grubun müzikal yolculuğuna kadar bir çok farklı tema var!
