DUST OF AEONS

TRANSCENDI­NG OBSCURITY FUNEREAL DIGNITARIE­S OFFER A MORE DELICATE TAKE ON DOOM

Members of Pantheist, Void Of Silence and Aphonic Threnody have united to form Towards Atlantis Lights, a supergroup of funeral doom luminaries whose collective sound is an emotionall­y wrought work of spacey introspect­ion, lumbering low-end swells and delicate sonic exploratio­n. Dust Of Aeons contains an almost soothing quality thanks to its flowing, tidal tempos and mood-shifting subtlety, immersing the listener within its slowly unfolding atmospheri­cs and majestic soundscape­s. The occasional­ly deathly growl of Pantheist’s Kostas Panagiotou intones through light passages of dreamy keyboards and shimmering guitar work to create the perfect counterpoi­nt and bring forth the band’s subject matter of tragic historical events. One of the more relaxing and reflective albums of an often one-dimensiona­l genre that does not stagnate or become a tiresome lengthy test of grim endurance.
