On November 1st, 2024, Floga Records will proudly release the highly anticipated second album by the Hellenic lyrical Black Metallers THYRATHEN, entitled “Lakonic.” The album will be available in CD, vinyl LP, cassette formats. Along with the announcement, the band presents us a lyric video for the new single “Η Πόλις – The City (The Philosophical Poem)”.
You can listen to this new song by THYRATHEN and see the new video, right below:
“Lakonic” goes one step further from its predecessor and consolidates the unique character and music style of THYRATHEN as “diachronic, lyrical Black Metal,” in their own words. With seven songs in 47 minutes, this second album is a coherent, poetic-epic, and theatrical journey: it creates images, it flows joyfully in its entirety, and it adds further to the brilliant canon THYRATHEN are building.
Cover art of “Lakonic” follows:
“Lakonic” tracklisting:
01. “The Throne Of Micro-Cosmos (Foolishness)”
02. “Religious Agonies”
03. “Matter, Void, Sperm”
04. “De Rerum Natura”
05. “Η Πόλις – The City (The Philosophical Poem)”
06. “Void, Matter, Sperm”
07. “Scales & Sword (The Fall Of Justice)”
The lineup sees the return of Corax S., Stefan Necroabyssious (VARATHRON), and Alexandros (MACABRE OMEN), and also the arrival of Noch from Greece’s Black Winter on guitar, bass, and choirs and Thanasis Kleopas on ancient lyre and voices. Together, these men weave a tapestry of sound that engages upon first listen and then works an ever-more-entrancing spell as successive spins seduce the listener.
What a surprise! This band brought the old Greek Black Metal back to 2024! Gorgeous music!
