LORD AGHEROS has released his new album “Koinè”, on February 18th via My Kingdom Music. It takes inspiration from the cinematic musical essence of ULVER, the Avantgardism of IHSAHN, the strength of the sound of WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM, the mediterranean touch of MOONSPELL and finally the theatrical and dramatic elements of EMPYRIUM.
With “Koinè”, a Greek term that indicates the language used in the Hellenistic age, when Greek essence joined East culture thanks to Alexander the Great, Gerassimos Evangelou, the only mind behind LORD AGHEROS project, returns to his own musical and cultural past with a more extreme sound, close to a certain Atmospheric Black Metal of the early days, but contaminating it in a unique way with the magic and esotericism of the oriental sound and Ambient-wave elements making “Koinè” a bridge between past, present and future rich of personality and pure beauty.
LORD AGHERON comments: “It was a long journey and I’m extremely proud of what I have achieved this time. I can firmly say that I have pushed the limits of LORD AGHEROS musical exploration, while the musical roots have grown even deeper into my musical essence. This is the most powerful, various and grandiose LORD AGHEROS album to date! Let there be no doubt!“
