Romanian Atmospheric Black Metal group ARGUS MEGERE is ready to release their first studio album in 8 years. Entitled”Cerburea Apusului”, it will hit the streets December 10 through Loud Rage Music.
Drums, bass and band vocals recorded in Consonance Studio by Andrei Jumuga and Sol Faur. Guitars and keyboards recorded in Ras Alhage Studio by Fulmineos. Mixed and mastered in Consonance Studio by Andrei Jumuga.
The band comments: “The album’s title refers to a place hidden deep within the dark forests of the Carpathian Mountains, seen at twilight. It captures a moment of powerful communion between the wild nature within us and the vast, untamed world outside. The first song we wish to reveal, “Iarba-fiarelor“, is one of the most complex pieces we have ever created. It weaves together the raw, Atmospheric Black Metal of our early roots with new shades of Post-Rock and traditional rural ambience, sounds that grew naturally from the environment where this music was born.
The presence of Bogdan Luparu (Bucovina) on vocals and Andrei Oltean (E-an-na) performing traditional instruments (xylophone, flute, kaval, toacă), along with additional vocals throughout the album, adds a sacred, ancestral depth. Their contributions elevate the entire work, enriching its patriarchal, archaic atmosphere.
Yes, we are aware that “Iarba-fiarelor” is long by today’s standards, but we do not write music for hurried attention spans. This is meant to be a spiritual journey, one that asks for time, presence, and a return toward the inner self, far from the frantic pace and fifteen-second focus of the modern world.”
