Debemur Morti zapowiada nowy album AKHLYS

 

Five years after the critically acclaimed "The Dreaming I" whose nightmarish dreamscapes showed a perfect fusion of Dark Ambient moments and Black Metal feriocity, Debemur Morti Productions is delighted to announce that AKHLYS return with their third album entitled "Melinoë". Named after the Orphic Goddess (which can also be seen on the cover artwork), mastermind Alchameth (NIGHTBRINGER, AORATOS) once again dives deep into madness, nightmares as well as esoteric insights and perfectly shows how such themes may be given musical essence and form.

AKHLYS channel the structural arcs of dream experience as they weave martial drumming, swarming counterpoint guitars, spellbinding Dark Ambient textures and vocal paroxysms of euphoric terror in five long compositions, namely:

01. Somniloquy

02. Pnigalion

03. Succubare

04. Ephialtes

05. Incubatio

"Melinoë" was crafted as a trio - Alchameth (vocals, guitars, bass, keys, lyrics), Eoghan (drums) and Chthonia (backing vocals) - while Alchameth being solely responsible for the compositions of the songs and the lyrics. Recorded at the Promethean Forge Studios in early 2020, the album was later produced, mixed and mastered by Dave Otero (CATTLE DECAPITATION, WAYFARER) at Flatine Audio with the help of Charlie Abend. While Denis Forkas Kostromitin (BEHEMOTH, WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM) is responsible for the cover-artwork and Abraxas Nox took care of the band photos (with edits by Chthonia), the layout of "Melinoë" was handled by Kontamination Design (ARCHGOAT).
