Melodic black metal band A/Oratos, hailing from France, released their debut album on January 19th, via Les Acteurs de l’Ombre Productions. Titled Ecclesia Gnostica, the seven tracks full-length has a total duration of almost 43 minutes. Frédéric Gervais mixed and mastered the album at Studio Henosis. Also, the artwork was created by Above Chaos.
A/Oratos is a gnostic black metal band formed in Paris in 2016 by Wilhelm, deriving its name from the Greek AORATOS, which could be translated as in/visible.
The band engages in a struggle against the materiality and spiritual void of contemporary society through knowledge. Moreover, they offer a musical reflection on the connections that govern the realms of the visible and the invisible.
Intensely melodic and mystical, featuring progressive variations and acoustic atmospheres, the group draws its reflection from the ancient esoteric traditions of Hermetism, Kabbalah, and Gnosis from the early centuries after AD.
Following a self-produced EP released in 2019, A/Oratos is returning with a debut album released by Les Acteurs de l’Ombre on January 19th 2024.
