about

Created separately to the ongoing Melmoth album trilogy, the 2 new tracks which comprise this EP originate from the prolific Swiss band’s desire to try out a slightly different approach to Black Metal without disturbing the coherence of the three-part Triade.

“Phthonos” is the first time AARA have worked with an outside producer, and the mixing/mastering by Markus Stock (ALCEST, EMPYRIUM, SCHAMMASCH) has bolstered the clarity, textural heft, focus and power of what is a compulsive one-two of contemporary melodic Black Metal.

In Greek mythology Phthonos is son of the goddess Nyx and the personification of envy and ill will. Conceptually the EP deals with the negative emotions and darker characteristics of beings, the lyrics originating from two of Aesop’s fables, in which the frog appears as an envious, loudmouthed and malevolent naïf as portrayed on the distinctive cover artwork.
