Description
Professionally manufactured cassette with black print on purple shells. Limited to 300 copies only! HELLS HEADBANGERS is proud to present the long-awaited third album of legendary Greek black metal institution AGATUS The Eternalist. Rendered in warm analog tones gritty but full of life AGATUS’ The Eternalist is an epic journey across the hinterlands of the imagination. In many ways it follows the heavy metalled direction of 2002’s celebrated The Weaving Fates but incorporates the proggier textures of 2012’s Gilgamesh EP thus ushering in a new era for the duo that’s respectful of the past but sets its sights on the future – and the unknown. Says founder The Dark The Eternalist reflects another dimension of my compositional style whilst maintaining the signature sounds that AGATUS are known for. Here I delve further into old heavy metal sounds that have always been an inspiration to me and created what I consider my most memorable album to date. Kaleidoscopic in its vision with The Eternalist AGATUS set a clear course toward older sounds and atmospheres: a golden ratio combining the feel of NWOBHM with ’70s rock and everything that you have come to know and anticipate of these two brother musicians over the years. Vorskaath adds We decided to take an old-style hard rock/heavy metal approach that is manifest on every aspect of the album from the performances and recording to the sounds we chose and the way we mixed. From the very first notes of The Eternalist that feel is unmistakably there. HELLS HEADBANGERS’ full backing of this unique and visionary cult AGATUS will reclaim the momentum achieved during the early 2000s and venture forward into previously untouched realms of glory.
