Finnish black metallers Aethyrick announces that they will release their third full-length album entitled Apotheosis on 22nd January via The Sinister Flame. By now, astute practitioners of the black arts should be well aware of the existence of Aethyrick. Formed by Gall and Exile on the winter solstice 2016, Aethyrick's medium is black metal and their locale Finland, but over the course of two visionary albums for The Sinister Flame, 2018's Praxis and 2020's Gnosis, the duo have defiantly etched a unique headspace all their own.
Bountifully brimming with magick and mysticism simultaneously aeons-old and strikingly modern, the band's first two albums served as cornerstones for how to honorably uphold tradtional black metal and feed it with a feverish creativity. Put another way, Aethyrick didn't abandon language altogether; rather, they spoke their own enrapturing dialect. Apotheosis fully brims with the band's occult character, now many decades walking the Left-Hand Path, and immersion on the listener's part is all but assured.
To call each of Aethyrick's albums a "classic" would not be an understatement. Black metal as an artform is enriched by their existence, and Apotheosis completes this trinity with no small amount of stargazing grandeur. First track premiere to be revealed shortly. Cover art and tracklisting are as follows below. Link
