A “Pact of Blood” is forged between two titans of atmospheric black metal: ELFFOR, the Basque master of epic orchestration, and AEON WINDS, the Slovakian pillar of atmospheric and symphonic black metal. Each band contributes two brand-new tracks, merging their distinct yet complementary sounds into a collaboration that promises to be monumental.
ELFFOR leads the way, once again showcasing his mastery of epic black metal. Known for his intense yet grandiose style, Eöl pushes boundaries with rapid shifts between furious, high-energy black metal and sweeping symphonic sections. This approach and layered orchestral arrangements create a captivating sonic landscape, immersing listeners in a whirlwind of emotions that oscillate between chaos and majestic beauty. The result is an ever-shifting, powerful, and haunting atmosphere.
On the other side, AEON WINDS delivers their signature blend of symphonic black metal with precision. Renowned for their distinctive melodies and anthemic keyboards, the band crafts an immersive, atmospheric experience that balances ethereal symphonic passages with controlled aggression. Their trademark combination of elegance and intensity offers a soundscape rich in emotional depth, inviting listeners to lose themselves in its beauty and darkness.
