Founding vocalist/guitarist Acherontas V. Priest explains the concepts behind the new album: "From the depths of the Typhonian tradition, Ma-IoN dives into the most Stygian waters of the Primal Godess to reveal the vast atavistic elements of the past unto a new Reptilian Prism. Unification of the sacred shamanic formulas and the dark Typhonian sources, the matriarchic tunnels of Layil with the sun-clad halls of Ra. Invoking the primal Therionic Self to enable the transformation of the sorcerer and calling upon the entities of Knowledge, Ma-IoN forms a key to unlock the mysteries hidden beneath, far from the modern degradation of the nowadays circus, so-called imbecile, hipster occult BM scene. We do not belong in any of your poisoned scenes or part of your public relationship parties of entertainment... We are here to serve the magical current of the ancients, the underground art of the '90s era and to offer a magical provocation to those with eyes to see and feel their potential, to stir the stagnated waters of reality. We ignite the torch to burn the veil and unlock the subconscious of the dreamer to hunt and embrace the Luciferian adversary. These are not just empty words, but shells that reform in Chi so the Great Planetary Work to be carved."

HELL yes!!! Due to the sheer quanitity of quality releases in 2014, I was rather cynical about the ability of this year to even come close and was thus prepared for a bit of a "lull year". However, this year is performing quite well at proving me wrong. Desolate Shrine's release this week was a stunning improvement from their earlier work, and now we have a new Acherontas on the horizon, as well as the long-awaited (by me, at least) new Keep of Kalessin!

For those who haven't heard this band, I consider them to be the forerunners (along with fellow countrymen Thy Darkened Shade) of the "orthodox" black metal movement. Forget DSO and Watain! These guys bring atmosphere in spades! Esoteric, ritualistic vocals, epic riffs, and ambient interludes that actually match the quality of the black metal songs instead of make me reach for the "play next" button. Also, WTC has proven of late to be one of THE labels to turn to for guaranteed quality black metal releases.
