AGATUS: STREAMING NEW TRACK "PERILS OF THE SEA (PART II)" VIA BANDCAMP

Greek black metal warriors AGATUS, via BANDCAMP, are streaming  "PERILS OF THE SEA (PART II)", a track from the bands anticipated new release "THE ETERNALIST", due to be unleashed 10/9/2016 via HELLS HEADBANGERS.








AGATUS unleashed "GILGAMESH" (EP), 2/27/2012 via THOSE OPPOSED RECORDS.




FROM HELLS HEADBANGERS:

On the symbolic date of October 9th, Hells Headbangers is proud to present long-awaited third album of legendary Greek black metal institution Agatus, "The Eternalist." Rendered in warm analog tones, gritty but full of life, Agatus' "The Eternalist" is an epic journey across the hinterlands of the imagination. In many ways, it follows the heavy metalled direction of 2002's celebrated The Weaving Fates but incorporates the proggier textures of 2012's Gilgamesh EP, thus ushering in a new era for the band that's respectful of the past but sets its sights on the future - and the unknown.
Says founder The Dark, "The Eternalist reflects another dimension of my compositional style whilst maintaining the signature sounds that Agatus are known for. Here I delve further into old heavy metal sounds that have always been an inspiration to me and created what I consider my most memorable album to date."
Kaleidoscopic in its vision, with "The Eternalist," Agatus set a clear course toward older sounds and atmospheres: a golden ratio combining the feel of NWOBHM with '70s rock and everything that you have come to know and anticipate of these two brother musicians over the years. Vorskaath adds, "We decided to take an old-style hard rock/heavy metal approach that is manifest on every aspect of the album, from the performances and recording to the sounds we chose and the way we mixed. From the very first notes of "The Eternalist," that feel is unmistakably there.”
With Hells Headbangers' full backing of this unique and visionary cult, Agatus will reclaim the momentum achieved during the early 2000s and venture forward into previously untouched realms of glory. Hear the first glimpse of glory with the track "Perils of the Sea (Part II)" at Hells Headbangers' Bandcamp HERE, where the album can also be preordered....
