Ataraxia - Kremasta Nera
Archaic mantras, ritual movements and lunar elegies,
whisperingss of magic spells and eastern
litanies,all this within Kremasta Nera.Ataraxia's latest offering, forging together tribal
rhythms and dark ceremonies inspired by the magic of natural symphonies.
This album is inspired by the lights and shadows of an extinguished civilization,
realised through a mixture of acoustic sounds, strings, electronic and eastern
percussions and beautiful evocative vocals.
True to the well known and credited style of Ataraxia, delivering everything you would have hoped to expect from the band.
This records truly carries you away into another world, where ritual is an everyday occurance and the gods are closer to man.
Opeining with The song of Axieros, it immediately sets the ritual atmosphere, the living shadows and heavy incense.
The Nine Rituals is a lovely tribal affair,The percussions is very rhythmic,accompanied with an accoustic guitar and lovely vocals.
One of the livelier tracks on the album...but then Ataraxia is not entirely known for lively tracks.But this is a very nice track!
Kremasta Nera follows this, a slow track with beautiful guitar and instrumentation.Very emotional vocals.Truly an offering to the gods.
This music just speaks with volumes.
Ochram is also a lovely track, more eastern in flavour.Again the rhythmic tribal percussion and the instrumentation again is fantastic.One really can fault the music .
I really enjoy the eastern sound scapes created on this track.
Certainly Ataraxia's music is not for everyone.But one has to give credit where iot is due, and they certainly deserve it with this album.
The music remains truthful to the concept.Beautiful, evocative, emotional and ritualistic.
Klethra is just another fine example of how well they have succeeded in this.It transports you instantly to their world.
Beautiful guitar melodies through out makes this a very enjoyable album.With solid tribal percussions and the emotional vocals.
A delightful album!
