Aornos, by PROMETHEUS

Aornos

by PROMETHEUS

supported by

H.L. This is a fascinating metal album and extremely multi-faceted. There are heavy death metal passages, icy and piercing black metal sequences, Greek traditional instruments and mysterious atmospheric or majestic parts. All these different moods are woven together in a seamless manner. Respect! The result is really thrilling, epic and I can listen to this mighty opus several times in a row with my headphones on. Favorite track: The Devouring Chasm.

____________________

If the soul of the previous album, "Resonant Echoes From Cosmos Of Old", was equally divided between cavernous death metal and symphonic black metal, the new and third work by the Greeks PROMETHEUS sports a more homogeneous and coherent character. In "Arnos", black and death metal meet in a sulphurous spiritual dimension of terror and darkness, traveling on the wings of majestic and enveloping music.

To give body and depth to the songs, PROMETHEUS also add synths and ancient instruments of the Greek musical tradition to the classic metal instrumentation, building a rich and elegant atmospheric frame around compositions otherwise violent and praising chaos.

As the splendid cover by Dimitrios Ch.Kosmas suggests, "Aornos" is an album that has its literary roots in the myth of Charon and the river Lethe, therefore in the eternal tale of Death and beyond. PROMETHEUS tell its places and laws as if they had really traveled to the afterlife... and perhaps this is not so far from the truth.

Stare Into Death And Be Still

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
