In follow up to 2023's "Triade III: Nyx" - the climatic instalment of the 'Melmoth' trilogy based on Charles Robert Maturin's classic Gothic novel - AARA now break away from the literary and apply their stunning musicality to real-world events.
"Eiger" is conceptually focused on the 3967 metre mountain of the same name in the Bernese Alps. Since 1935, at least 64 climbers have died attempting to conquer the Eiger's sheer, ice-covered north face which has earned it the nickname of 'Mordwand' ('murder wall'). The album specifically examines an attempt to climb the Mordwand in July 1936 which ended in tragedy, as four young mountaineers succumbed to treacherous conditions and disappeared, presumed caught in an avalanche.
