AETHYRICK - Beyond All Death

AETHYRICK Death is Absent CD/LP - September 13 Aethyrick’s longstanding partnership with The Sinister Flame ended when the label closed its doors for good. However, the flow of inspiration could not be halted, and the fervent work on the new album continued in the shadows. By the summer of 2024, the process was complete, and the duo found a new home abroad under the banner of EAL Productions. Musically, “Death is Absent” builds on Aethyrick’s signature style, pushing it further while occasionally increasing the tempo. Rooted in the melodic and atmospheric side of mid-90s Black Metal, their music evokes a time when the genre first captured their imaginations. They craft a soundscape that is both familiar and fresh, embodying the mysteries of the existential nightside. Revelations within both the sacred circle and the dreamlike realms have infused this offering with deep emotion, draped in the regal mantle of Finnish Black Metal. The lyrics acknowledge and honour the Reaper’s role as the extinguisher of mortal life, yet deny his authority over the flames of eternal faith. Paths come to an end. Voices fall silent. Hearts cease to beat. But the song of Spirit continues, and thus, death is truly absent. Pre-order CD, LP, & Digital Album:
