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.
