A cinque anni dall'uscita del loro acclamato album
“Hospodi”, le icone del BLACK METAL polacco
PATRIARKH (ex Batushka) tornano con il nuovo concept
album “ПРОРОК ИЛИЯ” (il Profeta Elijah). Dopo una
controversia legale per l’uso del nome, il cantante
Bartłomiej “Варфоломей” Krysiuk ha rinominato la
band Patriarkh e manda alle stampe quello che può
essere considerato il nuovo album dei Batushka ed il
primo lavoro su etichetta Napalm Records. Senza ombra
di dubbio, i Patriarkh sono uno dei gruppi più eccitanti
dell'attuale scena EXTREME METAL e sono ora più che
pronti a portare la loro essenza di BLACK METAL arcano
che fa tremare le ossa! Con otto composizioni nuove,
l'album porta l'ascoltatore nel mondo di Eliasz Klimowicz,
il profeta Ilja, un contadino analfabeta che fu il leader
della setta ortodossa Grzybowska. I Patriarkh diffondono
il loro vangelo con un arsenale di strumenti FOLK, come
tagelharpa, mandolino, mandocello, ghironda e dulcimer
a corde, e con un'orchestra sinfonica e cori. Come per i
Batushka, la sacralità ortodossa si mescola con il BLACK e
il DOOM METAL, ora ampiamente arricchito con la
musica FOLK, il NEO DARK FOLK e persino la musica da
film. La band utilizza l'intera tavolozza della musica
ortodossa, avventurandosi nelle aree della monodia
bizantina, del canto liturgico e della polifonia russa,
adattando ordinatamente le melodie folk e liturgiche al
proprio stile. Tuffatevi nelle ombre più profonde con
questo capolavoro del BLACK METAL e unitevi ai
PATRIARKH in questa intrigante cavalcata!

Among the most beloved and revered acts within the atmospheric metal field, Australia's MIDNIGHT ODYSSEY is back with “Biolume Part 2: The Golden Orb”, the second part of a trilogy started in 2019 with “Biolume Part 1: In Tartarean Chains.” The new album explores the themes of the sun, set within the context of classical mythology and in continuation from its predecessor.
“Whereas the first part was very much about creating one’s own light in the deepest tracts of darkness, the second part is about being confronted and embraced by nothing but light,” explains sole member Dis Pater. “The sun, Sol Invictus, Helios, the eye of Zeus (including his sister, Eos or Aurora, the dawn) are the light giving and all-seeing purveyors of the day.”
Featuring once again a sumptuous cover painting by Elijah Tamu, “The Golden Orb” tells the story of being exposed to the majestic and searing power of starlight, a burning and unbearable heat, like being chained in a desert. “Like our hot Australian summers,” Dis Pater continues, “it’s a harsh and uncomfortable place of being that brings to mind stories of the desert in ancient near-Eastern mythology and literature. And atop on his golden chariot is the Sun God himself, punishing with heat and thirst, drought and drying winds.”
Musically this is a different style to previous MIDNIGHT ODYSSEY releases. This time Dis Pater's main influences came from the epic heavy metal and doom of bands like SCALD and SOLSTICE (UK), but also from medieval music (such as chant, troubadour and trouveres music) and military style battle horns, with a dose of viking-era BATHORY.

Certainly to be counted among the most talented and visionary contemporary metal musicians, GG sets COSMIC PUTREFACTION aside for a moment to give space to the sophomore release by VERTEBRA ATLANTIS, a project that sees him grappling with a progressive, dissonant and symphonic black/death metal, on the border between late EMPEROR and GORGUTS.
Accompanied by the excellent RR (drums) and GS (rhythm guitars), authors of a masterful performance, GG makes no secret of considering "A Dialogue With The Eeriest Sublime" the most complete and mature work he has released so far. The album is a large canvas on which the Italian musician has poured all his creative flair thanks to intense symphonic brushstrokes perfectly embedded in the geometric shapes evoked by his twisted black/death metal riffs, supported by an equally powerful rhythm section.
