Following 2020's widely-worshipped "Melinoë", AKHLYS, the globe's premier channelers of abyssal nightmare, return triumphant with six elaborate and exhilarating new tracks of pure Black Metal terror.
Drawing from esoteric and mythical traditions, where the land of dreams is placed within the darkness of the underworld, arises the "House of the Black Geminus". Through labyrinthine halls, shadowed corridors, cellars of dread, and attics of epiphany, as ordeal and ecstasy meet at the vertices where each beholds his own daemon.
With AKHLYS now a monumental live entity, the visceral power of the stage is evident in the band's most all-encompassing, destructive and diabolically grand-sounding record-to-date.
"House of The Black Geminus" is a display of frightening dominance. Combining intense Black Metal with elements of Dark Ambient and Death Industrial, AKHLYS unite psychological horror, orchestrated bludgeon and eerie foreboding on a harrowing journey into pandemonic majesty.
blackened black metal
If nightmares had soundtracks, it would be Akhlys getting the royalties.
Don't forget the band Portal haha, total hell stuff
In Ovid's Metamorphoses, Phobetor (Ancient Greek: Φοβήτωρ; 'Frightener' from Ancient Greek: φόβος, phobos, 'fear' 'panic'), so called by men, or Icelos (Ancient Greek: Ἴκελος; 'Like'), so called by the gods, is one of the thousand sons of Somnus (Sleep). He appeared in dreams "in the form of beast or bird or the long serpent".
The bands basis is around Melinoe, The Greek Goddess ov nightmares.
blut aus nord - disharmonium nahab.
Al igual que la portada del álbum, pensé que se trataba de la Diosa Akhlys...@@LegendMathai
I've always wondered what bees would sound like over a blast beat.
Bees was the first things that came to mind here also. Intense sound.
Check out striborg for that angry bees in a tin sound
Funeral Mist - Into Ashes. Extra hihat (?) is added to make an effect that sounds like a swarm of bees coming and going (or at least that what it sounds like to me). Sounds incredibly good.
@@stevencooper3202 Portal is the essential “bug” band
These are flies
This and Ulcerate (and others) make me wonder if this is still metal or something new.
This is simply amazing 👏👏👏
Those new Ulcerate tracks are sick too, shaping up to be a good year for metal
Damn, you're so right......
The swarming sound of an oneiric attack made manifest within an auditory assault such as this is a monumental accomplishment. This is what black metal is supposed to be, an unrelenting execution of black magick presenced within sonic sigils crafted by a masterful touch!
I have nothing more to add. Excellent choice of words dude 🔥🤘🏻
There are very few Extreme Metal videos that can actually transmit the feeling and sensations that the artists are looking for, and this is one of these.
Can't wait for the album! I absolutley love Akhyls' nightmarish cursed forbidden soulcrushing phobic panic-inducing horror occult Black Metal!
best description ever
Whoever put this video together is a fucked up genius.
New Akhlys New Ulcerate 2024 is sorted 🤘🏼🔥
only a diseased soul would perform this! a breathtaking album awaits us
Can see you new to black metal😂😂
so much work put into this video.. excellent work everyone!!!
I adore the upside-down footage of the graveyard.
-Where can we get the highest amount of upside-down crosses per invested minute without AI?
-Say no more.
It's 100% stock video footage.
@@exurosanctus It still applies, especially if they still inverted it themselves. "Home-inverted crosses, flipped near you!"
I've been following Naas Alcameth through his various projects for a long god damn time. Never once have I ever said, "this is just kinda OK". I'm always impressed.
Listening for the production alone, it's remarkable how the harshness and density are contained within a pristine modern extreme metal aesthetic. Mixing this must have been brutal, but the result is outstanding!
Very true. The mixing is top notch
I'm glad they mixed it so well! This probably would have sounded like ass if they had had an amateur mix it together.
Dave otero did It. His work is great
Mate, this is so crushingly sinister. I like the combination of his screams and growls.
Must be the most dynamic Akhlys song I've heard. For me, their best effort so far.
Yeah same here.
This is how it's done, without question.
Absolute nightmare fuel. Love it 👌
The music and video are like every fever dream I had as a kid.
It's amazing how this song gets progressively greater throughout. Words cannot define...
Their trajectory is going straight up!!! Fuckin awesome!!
Absolutely no pauses, Naas lung volume is astonishing, I love it.
Gotta watch cartoons before I go to bed tonight
Lol same :D
Imma need Snow White after this one
I'm about to cry and laugh isterically at the same time.
I think Akhlys and Portal should make a collaboration. 😤💪 This is insanity
David Tomanek actually hit the nail on the head with this Video. Especially considering that it's not an easy task to match this soundscape with something visual.
For this Album, the approach to mixing & mastering is actually (slightly) different from previous installments since Naas deliberately wanted Dave Ottero to Master it with as few limiters as possible. The result is absolutely relentless and coarse - exactly what I'm looking for in Black Metal.
This is indeed a strong follow-up after Mēlinóē and The Dreaming I (which retains a special place within my heart) - yet this one's got its own dreadful spirit that is unmatched. Thanks for manifesting hell yet again, Naas!
As i said before the grandiosity and arrogance in this new entire album is above all the rest...magic, dark, hypnotic, colossal and proudly Arrogant!!!! Keep the black flame burnin...\m/
Oh fuckaroni of beefaroni cannery, will I be eating this straight from the can raw as I attempt to survive around my campfire like it's law.
Saw these guys live a couple years back with mgła. They put on a great show
*HOLY FUCK!* They have never released a bad track. Album ov the year releases in July !!!
I can’t wait to listen to this live ❤
If I had a nightmare that would be it. Brilliant song !
An immediate sense of unease and discomfort. This is what I want more of in music. That shred is like hornets swarming in my mouth god this is insane.
Way better than the last single
Truth
I thought the last one was awesome
@@Dan-yh4uz it's not that I didn't like it. But I want darkness and terror when listening to Naas' projects, so this one scratched that itch better. It's like that track was a B this one's an A. Both are still good
@@michaellitteral4499 no I feel you, lol. Their hallmark is like suffocating darkness and dissonance. The first one I think was actually a breath of fresh air a little for them cause there was some room to breath but I imagine the other 4 tracks not yet released are gonna be more like this one
Agreed, this is true sonic horror assault of Akhlys, last single was meh but this was amazing
I used to listen to the dreaming I before sleeping. Now I can add more fuel to the nightmare fire. Thank you Akhlys ❤
I’m not listening to this because I have the album coming on vinyl and am waiting to listen to the album in full, but my goodness am I excited for this
Sound from the deep darkness!!🌑🎼🌑
This is gonna be my sleeping pill
Ikelos, called also Phobetor, or Terrifyer, assumes the shapes of all kinds of animals as well as that of man:
Phantasos only those of inanimate objects.
Sublime, thank you Debemur
Akhlys was my first love within Black Metal. And I stil' havent found anything that sound as apocalyptical yet not just pure saturated screaming or oversaturated guitares. They have the perfect balance.
If you haven’t heard it yet, the album “Effigy of Nightmares” by Valdrin sounds right up your alley
ASMR to sleep well
In a year where Knoll, Iron Monkey and Ulcerate release records, you say album of the year pretty early, then this drops. This is a damn good year.
That was some pasty, hasty and nasty riffage there boys and girls!
The rise and fall of the lead guitar's arpeggio sequences are ferocious yet sublime. I've listened to this and 'Sister Silence, Brother Sleep' many times already and now have the vinyl on pre-order. Happy to support such fantastic artistry and musicianship. All the best to the band and Debemur Morti on Friday's release!
Thank you!
The metal-archives says the band’s pronunciation is Akh-lees but I believe Kyle once said in an interview it’s Akh-liss, not Akh-uh-liss. Unless I’m mistaken. If you could clarify I’d appreciate. Look forward to all future releases on your label.
@@UncleSemantic phonetically it's "aa kh - l EE s" according to the band.
This is like a trip into the darkest recess of existence. Masterfully executed.
Fu#king amazing. Brutal as hell!🤘🏻🤘🏻
This band just don't have it in them to miss. This album is gonna blow my face off. And I cannot wait. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That instant blast in my ears as soon as the video starts to play 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍
I am hearing other songs right now of Akhlys... What the fuck is that?!!! Amazing...!!!!
I don't know who the fuc Akhlys is. Never heard of them. Smashed the like button in the first 10 seconds! 🔥🔥🔥💪
Crushing song! I guess everyone needs a break after listening to it. 😁
Wicked!
Excellent in darkness 🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻
Oh my god that's so sick
outrageously good.
this stuff is evil, man. like, for real
Genial....gracias
Man this track hits like a thousand hammers!
Great Video!!!!
Diabolic Majestic
Holy... What a ride this is, love it
Very good like this music video
This is absolutely merciless.🔥🔥🔥
Hoping Naas decides to do another "Nightbringer" album too 🤞
This is fucking cool. Haven't heard this band before
Outstanding as usual
Satan: "Unleash the bees!"
NOT THE BEES!!!
Noooo!!! Not merely the BEES! It's the howlin hounds you got to watch out for on account of they got BEES IN THEIR MOUTHS & WHEN THEY BARK THEY SHOOT BEES AT YOU!!! 🦃🐶🐝😵🦃🐶🐝😵🦃🐶🐝😵🦃🐶🐝😵🦃
I'd like to thank The Simpsons for my entire library of heisted wisecracks & bits...! 🦃😬🦃
This is fkn monstrous
Better than the first. I like the brutallity and malignant essence 🤘🏻
While this song didn't quite do as much for me as the previous single and previous work I still look forward to the rest of the album. That said, I hope this is the last single before the full release. So many bands are releasing half the album as singles nowadays. I don't have the will power to not listen when I see them, but it spoils the experience of listening to the album, new, fresh, and as a whole once released.
As soon as this started I said to myself "full screen! full attention! Shut up and listen!"
Hey by the way, if anyone wants to see that deer composition video in full, I have it in one of my videos 🤣Great minds think alike!
Phucking wicked!!!!!!!
Yesss!🌌🦇🐺❄️🔥🤘🏻
Majestic and malevolent.
Dayuuuum!
this is beyond sound..
🤘🤘🤘
I'm impressed, thanks...🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 ♥♥♥♥♥
killer track
Monumental
Cold.
When Freddy Kruger has a band with some ancient demons.
Astonishing 👿💥💣
Black Metal is Nightmare 🤘🏻🖤💀☠️🍻🤍
Awesome.
I know the connection of Nightbringer and other bands, but the sun has truly set. With this band meant to manifest the dream world, there is no light unless the darkness manifested it in dream form only to cast sinister shadows within our minds. All light is Excommunion. More like Thronosis too please. I wanted to choose Sister Silence, Brother Sleep as an American Sign Language project, but "people wouldn't understand the lyrics" with the screaming 🤣 I shared it with the professor. She respectfully declined.
i pooped my pants when i first heard this, very unqiue
Good shit..
Kyle is a genius. Akhlys is the best
Oh yes he’s done it again 👌👌👌
wow
Magistral. 🤘💀🤘
My maze!
THIS!!! ☝🤘
Sounds like a manic episode.
Fuck yes.
Genial
Amazing 🎶
Holy shit!
🖤🖤🖤
Hail akhlys
