True Cult Records is proud to announce the release of Αuriferous Flame debut album “The Great Mist Within”, scheduled for release on vinyl and cassette on August 26th. A new project by Ayloss from Spectral Lore and Mystras, Αuriferous Flame is according to its mastermind a vessel for some ideas explored with Mystras. “Αuriferous Flame is in a way a continuation of many of the ideas and music styles in Mystras, without the obligation of the medieval historical theme and folk music pieces.” Says Ayloss. “The main goal of a project is a return to old school extreme metal aesthetics for inspiration, in particular of the darkest and most hostile kind of metal, a rejuvenation and a re-synthesis of styles no longer quite as prevalent, without falling into the same old trappings of the past, whether this is ideological bigotry or metal elitism.” Listen to advance track “Molten Gold” here. Greatly inspired by the atmospheric and frosty black metal from the 90’s and early 00’s, “The Great Mist Within” is a truly masterful album, perfectly balancing an equally epic and ominous atmosphere with venomous and ripping riffs, powerful blastbeats and devilish screams. Pre-orders are now available at this location. |
