7" Phthonos #133345

Description

Release Date: October 7, 2022

Pressed on transparent blue record with black splatters. Comes with a download card. Colors on final record may vary to a degree from the mock up.

Created separately to the ongoing "Melmoth" album trilogy, the 2 tracks which comprise this EP originate from the prolific Swiss band’s desire to try out a slightly different approach to Black Metal without disturbing the coherence of the three-part Triade.

"Phthonos" is the first time AARA have worked with an outside producer, and the mixing/mastering by Markus Stock (ALCEST, EMPYRIUM, SCHAMMASCH) has bolstered the clarity, textural heft, focus and power of what is a compulsive one-two of contemporary melodic Black Metal.
