Following up 2015’s oneiric modern classic “The Dreaming I”, AKHLYS present the eagerly anticipated “Melinoë” – five paeans of hypnotic, metamorphic and dangerously addictive Black Metal titled after the Orphic Goddess, bringer of nightmare and madness. Ephialtes is Akhlys’s latest song taken from the album “Melinoë”, out on December 14th 2020:

The most group-oriented iteration of AHKLYS to date here channel the structural arcs of dream experience as they weave martial drumming, swarming counterpoint guitars, spellbinding dark ambient textures and vocal paroxysms of euphoric terror into layered, multi-faceted songs that perfectly juxtapose meticulous craftsmanship and frightening pandemonium. Spiritual, mythic, emotional and physical, with “Melinoë” AKHLYS have deepened the mystery to draw yet more inside a new way of dreaming.

In the words of the band’s prime architect Naas Alcameth: “From the gates of slumber, where succubi perch betwixt wakefulness and dream, to the dark lands beyond, where nightmare daemons and the gods of terror preside, Melinoë serves as noctuary, hymnal and sojourn.”
