To quench the thirst of bards unborn<\/em>
\nto anoint the bones of future lore<\/em>
\nto wash away what was penned before<\/em>
\nand make the shroud of secrecy fall<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s been since the August of last year (provided this runs in the same year I am writing this post) you’ve last been brought to Aethyrick<\/strong>. Though considerably less time had passed from since, when they did release their sophomore full-length, Gnosis<\/em>. I hardly think I need to make up excuses to my tardiness on a year like this, but made them up I have. And you shall have none of them.<\/p>\n

As it was never Aethyrick’s intention to bear their torches towards the uncharted territories of black metal, it will not be a surprise that musically the changes between Praxis<\/em> and Gnosis<\/em> are not great but rather a continuation of the same of the same work, lacking in both, the daring dashes into the darkness veiled and the visits upon the soil of once-trod sites. For a black metal album Gnosis<\/em> is a soft affair, emanating melancholy and nostalgia rather than cathartic rage, hate or violence. But taken without it’s context, a step back from the bindings of black metal, and it is a raw and aggressive album, ensuring that, like black metal by and large, it is not an album that shall please everyone. Unlike black metal by and large it applies this, to a degree and from a point of view, to black metal itself.<\/p>\n
