ACHERONTAS

Release Year: 2020
Artist Origin: GRE
Style: hypnotizing dramatic occult black metal

veiled in a cloak of mysticism, this ritual continues the journey of spiritual and musical transformation, reaching even clearer level of synthesis between consciousness and the subconscious: solemn, theatrical tension characteristic to earlier releases is retained, while aggression and meditation - two poles of the same energy - coexist in perfect harmony, yet the hypnotic sound gains even more depth and spaciousness, as psychedelic, progressive, and ambient passages are woven with striking effect into the mantra-like flow of black metal intensity, creating trance-inducing experience; eight compositions stand out for their refined structural design and subtly expressed spiritual drama, making this opus one of the most conceptually cohesive and immersive chapters in Acherontas legacy; deluxe collector's clam-shell box edition with the digipak version in slipcase, metal pin, logo keyring, and UV sticker is limited to 500 machine-numbered units, copy #59
