Aara – Triade III: Nyx LP (Gold & Black Galaxy Effect Vinyl with Slipcase)

"Nyx" - the given name for the Greek goddess and embodiment of night – is the fittingly climatic dénouement of AARA's album trilogy based upon the 1820 gothic novel "Melmoth the Wanderer" by Charles Maturin. The Swiss melodic Black Metal band's 5th full-length since 2019, 2023's "Triade III: Nyx" is a suite of emotionally sharp songs in which sublimated choirs, disembodied voices and myriad otherworldly textures preserve atmosphere while swarming, hyper-lyrical guitars and pounding jackhammer percussion provide Industrial-level tensile strength.
