AARA – triade I : eos – CD digipack

Possessed by unstoppable momentum, the beautifully prolific Swiss atmospheric Black Metal band AARA present « Triade I: Eos », the first part of a forthcoming trilogy inspired by the 1820 Gothic novel « Melmoth the Wanderer » by Charles Robert Maturin.
Perpetually climatic and sumptuously melodic, the esoteric secrets of religion, atheism and occultism interwoven in the book’s narrative are furiously elucidated via a set of ornate, rapturous constructions at once state-of-the-art and period-reverent.
Exploiting a rich vein of form, AARA find the past inside the present through a passionate, oft economical arrangement of rapier-sharp neoclassical earworm leads, anguished vocals, meditative synth, melancholic choral textures and drumming of inch-perfect intensity.
Rousing, nostalgic, triumphant and transformative, with « Eos » AARA definitively enter the top echelons of contemporary melodic Black Metal.
