Official press release:
Greek progressive black metal horde Aenaon will release their third studio offering next month via Code666. Titled Hypnosophy, the seven track offering was captured at Crown Audio Conspiracies and is a work of vision and devotion. Dreamlike yet nightmarish, sensual yet dark, an extreme and progressive musical effort complemented by the unique art of Łukasz Wodyński, Hypnosophy is a portal to a glorious surrealistic journey.
Hypnosophy will be released via Aural Music sublabel Code666 on CD, vinyl, and digital formats on November 25th in Europe and December 9th in North America. Pre-orders are available at THIS LOCATION. In the meantime, sample first single “Oneirodynia” below:
The band elaborates:
“‘Oneirodynia’ is the opening track of our new album, a progressive inferno that offers no compromise. From the stormy parts to the more tranquil movements, ‘Oneirodynia’ simulates all the pleasures and sufferings that an individual can experience in the state of dreaming.”
Adds No Clean Singing in an investigation of the track:
“The song has a beautiful, mesmerizing beginning… but don’t get too comfortable, because it soon ignites in a fireball of intensity. As the blast front propagates, the music grows in its fascination, with the jolting attack accented by wonderful saxophone solos, neuron-twisting guitar machinations, a riveting performance by the rhythm section, and a stirring mix of harsh and clean vocals. The intensity abates in the song’s second half, making way for an intriguing instrumental section before the final surge of exuberance, led once again by an incendiary saxophone performance.”
