The CD version of the album is enclosed in customised, screen printed cardboard covers. While the vinyl edition is in some ways the optimal medium for the album at hand, the CD has the advantage of being mixed as a seamless whole. Finnish black metal is characterized by sharp, sharp riffs, melodic, chilling sound and tragic atmosphere. The number of bands playing in this genre in Suomi can be compared to the infinite cosmos. Between the two segments, the sides A and B, lies the secret canticle: heard by few, yet ever present. This page is dedicated to Finnish black metal.
It is this process which the sixth Arktau Eos album attempts to convey: led by abyssal psalmody, the sonic tapestry is interwoven with dusty, crackling electronics of a bygone era and other, subtler elements for an all-enveloping sound that readily lends itself to prolonged listening sessions. We are a nameless grave from which the self divine may rise to witness new constellations light up on the darkening firmament. We are a labyrinth unto ourselves and equally we stand as a totem-pole at the crossroads of a universe, gazing into distant horizons.
Every man is a catacomb resonator our very being resounds with hidden desires, dreams of unknown origin, and deeper still, primordial voices of our buried ancestry.
