German black metal duo Altar ov Asteria will release its debut full-length, Éna, on 29 November via Dusktone. The band has recently shared the first track, "Kataklysm".
Established by two girls from the Dresden area, Satyra and Melpomene, both heavily involved in the rich local underground, Altar ov Asteria was envisioned and formed through its members' shared influence of black metal. The goal of the band's material, embodied in its Éna debut, is to balance visceral energy with enveloping atmosphere and dark melody, creating a sound rooted in black metal tradition and expansive new avant-garde sounds.
"Imagine you would wake up in a world full of mysteries and realities woven into each other, like in a story book of the past centuries of Dante Alighieri or Homer. Two black-robed mysteries in gold-snake masks wake you up from the heavy dorm with blackened sirens crushing your ears, mesmerizing your mind to sense the allegories of humankind existence. You've got an invitation to a storybook of hellish Sodom, chapter by chapter illustrating thy and foreign dystopia." Link
