Expanding far beyond the themes and sounds within AKHLYS, “Gods Without Name”, the upcoming debut album from Naas Alcameth’s AORATOS probes ever further into the darkness found beyond boundaries of the profane and waking world of man. We present the third track, “Of Harvest, Scythe and Sickle Moon”, an intense and haunting piece of malefic Black Metal:
Terrifying and occult, this is darkness given musical form in haunting, malefic Black Metal.
Recorded at Promethean Forge Studios, mixed & mastered by Dave Otero at Flatline Audio, “Gods Without Name” contains 9 horrific hymnals:
1. Parallax I
2. Holy Mother of Terror
3. Of Harvest, Scythe and Sickle Moon
4. Gods without Name
5. Thresher
6. The Watcher on the Threshold
7. Prayer of Abjection
8. Dread Spirit of the Place
9. Parallax II

BIOGRAPHY
AORATOS stands as the simulacra of the multitudinous genius loci, haunting spirits which preside over and manifest within out-lands forgotten, and the inner sanctum of the shadow-self. Probing further and expanding upon subjects presented within Naas Alcameth’s AKHLYS, both and sound and subject wanders far beyond the scope of genre binding horizons.
The nameless daemon’s of ruins, deserts, trackless forests, forgotten crypts, and the dark labyrinths of dreams, given voice and presence within an amalgamation of dark ambient, black metal and deep ritual drone, AORATOS serves as a reflection and voice for the countless and diverse ominous presences residing within the provenances of absence, desolation, and inner darkness.
