AARA
So Fallen alle Tempel - Ltd

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.

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.

"Nyx" - the given name for the Greek goddess and embodiment of night – is the fittingly climatic dénouement of AARA's album trilogy based upon the 1820 gothic novel "Melmoth the Wanderer" by Charles Maturin.

The Swiss melodic Black Metal band's 5th full-length since 2019, "Triade III: Nyx" is a suite of emotionally sharp songs in which sublimated choirs, disembodied voices and myriad otherworldly textures preserve atmosphere while swarming, hyper-lyrical guitars and pounding jackhammer percussion provide Industrial-level tensile strength.
