Background information about 'Patriarchs Of Evil'

Greek black metal legends Varathron return with their sixth full-length offering, a masterpiece that showcases three decades of refined darkness and occult wisdom. "Patriarchs Of Evil" stands as a testament to the band's unwavering dedication to atmospheric black metal, weaving together haunting melodies with crushing riffs that transport listeners into realms of ancient mysticism. The album opens with the mesmerizing "Tenebrous", immediately establishing the band's signature blend of melodic passages and brutal intensity, while tracks like "Luciferian Mystical Awakening" and "Saturnian Sect" demonstrate their mastery of creating epic compositions that never lose their sense of urgency.

The production work by Achilleas Kalantzis at Crown Audio Conspiracies captures every nuance of Varathron's sound, from Stephan Necroabyssius' commanding vocals to the intricate guitar work of Achilleas C. and Sotiris. The album's crown jewel, the eight-minute epic "Ouroboros Dweller (The Dweller Of Barathrum)", serves as a perfect culmination of everything that makes this band essential listening for black metal enthusiasts. With artwork by Juanjo Castellano perfectly complementing the album's dark themes, "Patriarchs Of Evil" proves that Varathron continues to evolve while maintaining their distinctive Greek black metal identity.
