Following 2020's widely-worshipped "Melinoë", US Oneiric Black Metal band AKHLYS return triumphant with six elaborate and exhilarating new tracks of pure Black Metal terror. "House of the Black Geminus" evokes abyssal nightmares, taking the listener through labyrinthine halls, shadowed corridors, cellars of dread, and attics of epiphany, as ordeal and ecstasy meet at the vertices where each beholds his own daemon.
Tracklist:
01. The Mask of Night-speaking
02. Maze of Phobetor
03. Through the Abyssal Door
04. Black Geminus
05. Sister Silence, Brother Sleep
06. Eye of the Daemon - Daemon I
The cover artwork was designed by Agostino Arrivabene, Jose Gabriel Alegría Sabogal contributed additional artwork to the booklet. Yurii Kazarian/Into the Abyss Design is responsible for the layout.
"House of the Black Geminus" was recorded at Promethean Forge Studios between March 2022 and January 2024. Dave Otero (COBALT, NIGHTBRINGER, CATTLE DECAPITATION) tracked the drums, mixed and mastered at Flatline Audio in January 2024. Additional engineering was performed by Mike Low.
As a mesmeric introduction to their upcoming fourth album, "House of the Black Geminus," US Black Metal band AKHLYS unveil intricate new composition, 'Sister Silence, Brother Sleep'. Over nine minutes, composer Naas Alcameth fuses relentless, ferocious guitars, intense blast beats and sharply piercing vocals, creating a soundscape both relentless and eerily ominous. The addition of haunting dark ambient tones and melodious interludes add layers of complexity to elevate this powerfully sinister piece.
