Nowy numer od THYRATHEN

 

Today, Greek black metallers Thyrathen premiere the new track "Religious Agonies" at Decibel magazine's website. The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated second album, Lakonic, set for international release on November 1st via Floga Records. Hear Thyrathen's "Religious Agonies" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Formed in 2011 but not making their public debut until ten years later, Thyrathen nevertheless are a vanguard for ancient Hellenic black METAL. That debut, the full-length ThanatOpsis, featured a godly lineup - drummer Corax S. (ex-Nocternity and Jackal's Truth), guitarist A.Z. (ex-Kawir and Obsecration), and vocalists Stefan Necroabyssious (Varathron, Funeral Storm, Katavasia) and Alexandros (Macabre Omen, The One) - and the results were, unsurprisingly, godly. Here was that classic Greek sound, given deeper and darker drama through a framework of both fantasy and philosophy, but looking within for inspiration rather than without. Put another way, Thyrathen slotted well into the lineage its principal members helped shape, but ThanatOpsis was entirely its own creation. A Mount Olympus to eclipse, as it were...

Both counterpart to and continuation of ThanatOpsis, Lakonic goes one step further and consolidates the unique character & music style of Thyrathen as "diachronic, lyrical black metal," in their own words. With seven songs in 47 minutes, this second album is a coherent, poetic-epic, and theatrical journey: it creates images, it flows joyfully in its entirety, and it adds further to the brilliant canon Thyrathen are building.
