House Of Atreus – Orations LP
House Of Atreus – 'Orations' LP
Black vinyl edition with insert limited to 200 copies
New 2024 mini album from America's HOUSE OF ATREUS who are powered by the Greek tragedies and have that very same tragedy (as well as triumph) coursing through their rough 'n' rugged veins. Theirs is a sound unapologetically influenced by the ancient Hellenic legends Varathron and Rotting Christ. This new 33-minute Oration comprises five brand-new tracks - each one as regally galloping as the last, concise and expansive in equal measure - and a closing cover of heroes Running Wild and their late '80s gem "Riding the Storm." The latent grit 'n' grime still exists, but rather than being an exception to wider "death metal," here do HOUSE OF ATREUS assert themselves simply as a masterful HEAVY METAL band - but one that just so happens to have more than a bit of death metalled muscle. Founding bassist Anxietous Nero's remarkably articulated vocals are again at the fore, but possess more clarity and charisma than ever.
