Aronious - Premiere 'Descent Of Inanna' Track & Lyric Video
Tech death metal operatives Aronious have unveiled a first single from their upcoming album, Irkalla, which will see an August 12th release day via The Artisan Era. The lyric video for "Descent Of Inanna" is live now and available for streaming via YouTube. Irkalla was mixed by Nick Weyers at Carp Town Studios and mastered by Marc Birr at Carp Town Studios.
Speaking about the new album, the band comments: "Irkalla in Babylonian mythology is known as the underworld, which we found to be a fitting title for the dismal, dissonant, destructive and technical sound of the music. The lyrical themes revolve around the arc of the ancient Sumerian epic, The Descent of Inanna, which calls attention to various correlated topics, such as the Sumerian Gods, their backstories and Inanna's odyssey to and from the underworld. This album is also the first to feature our new vocalist Brandon Brown, our new drummer Kevin Paradis and Andrew Kim on session bass. Mixing was done by Nick Weyers and mastering was done by Marc Birr of Carp Town Studios. The songs you will hear on this album are for the most part about 4-6 years in the making, the oldest of which being the song "Negeltu" which was written in 2016. These songs were originally intended to be used for Ryan Brumlic and Nick Weyers’ side project that was also named Irkalla, but since that project didn’t quite pan out, we figured that it sounded enough like Aronious to use as our next album. This worked out in our favor because the album Irkalla really sounds like a more refined, intense and mature follow up to the sound on our previous album Perspicacity. There’s no sugar coating it. We are confident this album will destroy you. Enjoy."
