Austrian Black Metallers ASPHAGOR, have dropped an official video for the title track of their new album “Pyrogenesis”, which was released on March 10th via MDD Records. These eleven songs and a playing time of over 60 minutes are probably the highlight of the quintet’s work so far.
Manuel Zanesco comments: “ ‘Pyrogenesis’ is a song that centers around the idea that great power and enlightenment can arise from a spark of inspiration born from flame. The lyrics describe the journey towards this power and the potential consequences that come with it, emphasizing the destructive potential of this force while acknowledging its transformative and creative capabilities.“
Hybreos (Christoph Knoll) adds: “As an ode to Prometheus, we tried to create an amalgamation of Old School Death Metal with our home base of Black Metal, with a thrashy connotation. Like every track on the album this one as well has its unique approach, guiding through densely packed arrangements toward the final conclusion in a harmonic riffage. Enjoy!”
