Hail Spirit Noir – Eden in Reverse – CD

Description

HAIL SPIRIT NOIRis an intriguing psychedelic prog metal band, with strong experimental and prog rock influences, recommended for fans ofOranssi Pazuzu,Ulver,Borknagar, orGhost, yet with an identity of its own. Their third and last album, “Mayhem In Blue“, was released to critical acclaim in 2016, and was followed by several festival appearences, including a thundering performance atRoadburn(which simultaneously marked the first-ever appearance of a Greek band at the festival) and other festivals such asInferno(Norway),Dark Bombastic Evening(Romania) and more.The group was established late 2010 as a trio and issued their debut album “Pneuma” two years later. Its warm reception strengthened the band’s experimental approach and enhanced its quirky take on music, all of which inevitably led to the release of “Oi Magoi” in 2014; a psychedelic prog-black metal opus of trippy melodies and satyric aura. Followed by “Mayhem In Blue” in 2016, the band’s signature sound was solidified, and at the same time expanded into more aggressive territories, without abandoning the group’s trademark psychedelic-infused melodies. Since 2018, the trio has been joined full-time by its live members, changing the band into a sextet. The new album “Eden In Reverse” was completed late 2019. It is regarded byHAIL SPIRIT NOIRas the next step in their ongoing evolution, this time with an 80s twist.“Eden In Reverse”was recorded atLunatech Studios. The album was produced and mixed byDimitris Douvras(Rotting Christ) and mastered byAlan Douches(Nile,Aborted,Whitechapel). Cover artwork was prepared byStuZor.
