Style: hypnotizing dramatic occult black metal

seventh studio album by enigmatic Hellenic black metal entity, considered by its members as otherworldly project, a medium, evokes ritualistic visions and bears seventies' vintage rock influences, standing at the forefront of contemporary occult metal scene, with strong dedication to spirituality, eastern philosophy, mysticism and magic in both sound and imagery, where elements of theosophical and hermetic symbolism intertwine; Faustian Ethos explores the inner dualism of man - the struggle between light and darkness, thirst for knowledge and peril of the soul, expressed through musical dynamics and contrasts between menacing riffs and solemn melodies, while subtle theatrical touches and ceremonial atmosphere turn this record into a transcendental experience, one of the most mature episodes in their career; limited black vinyl edition comes with a pro-printed sixteen page A5 sized lyric booklet
