Acherontas Ma-IoN (Formulas of Reptilian Unification)

W.T.C. Productions sets February 27th as the international release date for ACHERONTAS' highly anticipated fifth album, "Ma-IoN 'Formulas Of Reptilian Unification'". Since their metamorphosis into a new entity in 2007, these Greeks have staunchly upheld the magick 'n' mysticism of classic, second-wave Black Metal. Over the course of four, increasingly ambitious albums - capped by "Amenti - Ψαλμοί Αίματος Και Αστρικά Οράματα", released in 2013 by W.T.C. to international critical acclaim - ACHERONTAS have explored vast vistas of the imagination with a potently kaleidoscopic style of Black Metal that ably bridges traditionalism and the Avant-Garde.

Now, with "Ma-IoN 'Formulas of Reptilian Unification'", the band continue their creative ascent by paradoxically descending deeper into the depths of the occult underworld. Across 11 expansive tracks in a time-evaporating 70 minutes, "Ma-IoN" explores a wide swath of sonic territory, ranging ACHERONTAS' characteristically windswept style of songwriting to twisted 'n' twisting variations of it to, most crucially, ritualistic soundscapes comprising ancient Far Eastern & shamanic instrumentation. Taken together, it's a total sensory experience that effortlessly guides the listener across chilly night skies, barren desert plains, humid marshlands, and the fiery abyss of the unknown. In their never-ending quest to seek the deepest wisdom, ACHERONTAS are here joined by a whole host of incredible guest musicians, including members of ABIGOR, MALIGN, NIGHTBRINGER, BLACK SEAS OF INFINITY, EMME YA, and TATIR amongst others. What results is a shockingly bold, daring vision of Black Metal: "Ma-IoN 'Formulas Of Reptilian Unification'".
