Aethyrick - Praxis

Aethyrick is a mysterious band from Finland. Their debut album 'Praxis' was released on CD by The Sinister Flame last year and recently the vinyl version came out by the same label. Aethyric offer a kind of Black Metal that is not very common nowadays, musically and lyrically. They create an atmosphere that reminisces the mid-90s melodic Black Metal that goes very well together with their concept that revolves around folk traditions/magic and the dark forces of nature - a solid whole that manages to capture the unique feeling that the mystery of the woodland, the majesty of the nightsky and the perpetual flow of the river can create. Their promo pictures depict everything very successfully as well. If I would try to compare them with other bands, listening to 'Praxis' the 'Ode to the Nightsky' EP of Mudanus Imperium came to my mind, as well as Tiamat and Circle of Dawn.
