AKHLYS: INK DEAL WITH BLOOD MUSIC

U.S. black metal project AKHLYS  have signed a record deal with BLOOD MUSIC.









AKHLYS released "The Dreaming I", unleashed 4/20/2015 via DEBEMUR MORTI PRODUCTIONS.






FROM BLOOD MUSIC:

Blood Music is extremely pleased to present to its roster – Akhlys!
Crashing unexpectedly onto the shores of black metal with the most enthralling album of 2015, Akhlys's occult vision “The Dreaming I” evokes the most terrifying aspects of nightmares into a palpable nocturnal horror. Turning more than quite a few heads, the release sold out as soon as the entire album was streamed, creating an instant cult following around the obscure, long-dormant project.
Beginning six years ago as a lone, quiet, dark ambient solo project for Naas Alcameth (Nightbringer's frontman), the project went relatively unnoticed until only a few months ago. Alcameth recruited drummer Ain and secretly recorded a hypnotic sophomore masterwork, meditating on the darkest elements in the pantheon of dreams. “The Dreaming I” melds the meditation of Lustmord-influenced claustrophobic ambient with the knife-wielding production and tremolo attack of Nightbringer's greatest moments – eliciting Alcameth's greatest work to date.
The response was universally positive, and the decision was made to keep Akhlys as a serious project with the vision to move forward.
The band is currently hard at work on their third album, which is intended for release in 2016 through Blood Music.
