The cover art says it all provided you also know its the cover of a black metal album..kinda. Its a true original and its fun without being goofy or gimmicky. Favorite track: Trismegistus.

Dylan I was pretty baked the first time I listened to this album, by the end I had no idea what just happened! But I instantly wanted more! I immediately listened to the album again and I've been hooked ever since. Hard to choose a favorite track but the last two minutes of Trismegistus is fucking AWESOME. Favorite track: Dark Energy Equilibrium.

about

Sinuous, haunting and bizarre, Arkheth's music is extraordinary. There have been experimental black metal bands, but this is something else entirely. It's a micro-fusion of all the different stylings the genre can encompass, brilliantly strung together in a seemingly twisted albeit seamless manner. It requires rare ingenuity to create music that is discordant and melodic at the same time. The addition of saxophone only ups the bizarre quotient and adds colour to the unhinged madness. Virtually peerless and transcending boundaries, this is black metal that is gorgeous in all its demented, intricate design.

Band's message for the album - "The inspiration for this album came directly from the ancient and unknown past the mankind and its connection to the Earth and Cosmos. The primary source was the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus and his path to enlightenment. This is an important chapter for Arkheth in its evolution both musically and on it's journey as an entity that continually seeks a deeper knowledge and connection with the Cosmos."
