JUSTICE FLIES - Reaktion (Official Full Album 2024)
“Justice Flies” is the fourth album from Reaktion, a thrash metal concept album based on Jean-Paul Sartre’s “The Flies”, which is an adaptation of The Oresteia, by Aeschyllus.
This Greek tragedy narrates the history of the hero Orestes, who arrives in Argos to avenge, with the help of her sister Electra, the death of the King, Agamemnon. He was murdered by his wife, the Queen Clytemnestra, and her lover, Aegisthus.
Reaktion has turned a 20th century existencialist theater play based on a classic tragedy into an epic-thrash original concept album.
