AARA
Triade III: Nyx (Slipcase)

Like strokes of inspiration, exquisite guitar melodies weave a fluent plethora of moods and emotions, showcasing a heavy classical influence. Undulant blast beats and biting screams serve as a counterpoint to pristine atmospheres and ethereal choirs, an obstinate reminder of the finite nature of man and his creations.

Here at the onset of a new decade, AARA presents a landmark of thoughtful, unorthodox Black Metal.

"So fallen alle Tempel" ("All temples fall") extinguishes all shallowness and grasps you by your soul, carrying you into an atmospheric maelstrom. Swiss AARA is a new star on the Black Metal firmament, combining atmospheric Black Metal with classical melodies to a grand and epic experience.

Comes with a 2-page insert and a download card. Remastered audio, pressed on deep purple / white galaxy effect heavy vinyl.

Possessed by unstoppable momentum, the beautifully prolific Swiss atmospheric Black Metal band AARA present "Triade I: Eos", the first part of a forthcoming epic Black Metal trilogy inspired by the 1820 Gothic novel "Melmoth the Wanderer" by Charles Robert Maturin.

Comes in a 6-panel digipack with a 6-page booklet.

Comes in a 4-panel digipack with a 12-page booklet.

The wonderfully productive Swiss atmospheric Black Metal band AARA return with urgency to unleash "Triade II: Hemera", their 4th full-length since 2019 and the second chapter of the Melmoth trilogy.

Based upon the 1820 Gothic novel 'Melmoth the Wanderer' by Charles Robert Maturin - and closely connected in style and atmosphere to 2021's initial instalment "Triade I: Eos" - each of the 6 brutally melodic tracks follows the book's chronological mid-point narrative in a dazzling critical examination of theism and scepticism through the medium of top-tier Black Metal.

Although conceptually aligned with part one of the trilogy, "Triade II: Hemera" further-advances the AARA sound into realms of progressive extremity: defined once again by the beauteous lead melodies of composer/guitarist Berg, the record combines a raw violent undertow with subtle rhythmic shifts, left-field riffs/refrains and sublimated vocal savagery - interweaving Christian choirs, the Jewish shofar horn and traditional Indian vocal samples into yet another outstanding offering from an unstoppable young band overflowing with ideas and confidence.

Pressed on gold / black galaxy effect heavy vinyl. Comes with a 2-page insert, an A2 poster and a download card. Colors on final record may vary to a degree from the mockup.
