ARRAYAN PATH RELEASE "THE MARBLE GATES TO APEIRON"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Band: ARRAYAN PATH

Album: The Marble Gates to Apeiron

Country: Cyprus

Genre: Epic Power Metal

Label: Pitch Black Records

Release date: November 27th, 2020

The Epic Power Metal force that is ARRAYAN PATH returns with the band’s 8th full-length, a follow-up to 2018’s double-disc album “Archegonoi”. 

Titled “The Marble Gates to Apeiron”, the new album is due to be released on November 27th on CD and Digital. 

The new ARRAYAN PATH album is much heavier than its predecessor and more on the “up-tempo” scale, while at the same time maintaining all the characteristics and trademarks that make up the unmistakable style and sound of ARRAYAN PATH. 

Nicholas Leptos, the band’s driving force (also current vocalist of legendary WARLORD) comments: “We worried less about doing something ‘out of the ordinary’ and more about writing good melodic metal songs. There was also more collaboration between the band members, maybe more than ever before!” 

Lyric-wise, even though the new album is not a concept album, it does have a common theme running among the songs, one that deals with human nature as it has developed through the ages. For this reason the album is “divided” into 3 parts, with each part made up of 3 songs: The Past, The Present and The Future. 

Even though the subject matter might seem varied between songs, as already mentioned there is a central theme that revolves around human reaction and response; from the destruction of our planet, to people’s quarrels regarding the pandemic, life, death, religion and mourning; and of course, somewhere in all that, the band’s favorite subject since forever: mythology!

The album was produced by Slava Selin and ARRAYAN PATH and mixed by Simone Mularoni who has given a breath of fresh air to the band’s music over the past few years. Artwork was done by Giannis Nakos at Remedy Art Designs.

The first single off the album (“A Silent Masquerade”) is available for streaming and free download together with its lyric video at www.pitchblackrecords.com where pre-order information is also available.

 

Tracklisting:

1. The Marble Gates to Apeiron

2. Metamorphosis

3. Virus

4. The Mourning Ghost

5. To Live Another Day

6. The Mask of Sanity

7. The Cardinal Order

8. A Silent Masquerade

9. Black Sails (The Nemean Ode)

REVIEW: SEYMINHOL - NORDIC TALES

 

SEYMINHOL - NORDIC TALES (Independent, 2001):

Technical data:

Recorded, mixed at Kirk Prod. Studio by Gilles "Warrior" Kaufmann.

Cover: Gregory Lê

Track List: 1- Part 1: Immortal Lords, 2- Part 2: Berserker, 3- Part 3: Back of Thunder, 4- Part4: Into the winds of Chaos

A classical guitar introduction opens this CD from this French band of heavy metal, before getting into a slow part with some melodies that lead into a heavier segment. The singer Kevin Kazek shows here that he is a really clean vocalist (with this I meen that he can do some intrincate vocals without distorting his vocal range....in fact one of the main elements of Seyminhol´s music are the vocal harmonies). He is in the vein of singers like Timo Kotipelto from Stratovarius but with a vocal range that relies heavily on the middle range instead of the higher pitches. This MCD has four tracks and the lyrics are about Nordic Culture, really epic. Talking about epic...the tracks here have a lot of qualities that make them sound really epic, like the guitars that play melodies and the rhythms that are thought to sound very omnipotent (I like that the guitars have a really raw sound not typical for the style). Favorite tracks: "Part 1: Immortal Lords" and "Part 3: Back of thunder". Contact: www.chez.com/seyminhol
