There are chanting and atmospheric avalanches that catapult the rituals beyond the borders of orthodoxy in what counts in relation to how this music works, and as I am trying to figure out whether the sounds I am listening to come from an organic, mechanic or electronic origin, I suddenly think that as Arkatu Eos claim massive presence in this mystical hybrid of sound and subliminal sights, once you close your eyes and surrender. The five parts of this album summon slow aural awakenings that erect ringing drones of persistent, ritual solemnity. This album will get its own review, but I just want to mention this alluring fact that hovers above this beautiful release. From the beautiful, magical artwork to the last of the tiny ringing sounds Ioh Maera is an audio basilisk, mesmerizing the listeners who dare venture into its course.Ī two headed Basilisk, I have to say, since Ioh Maera, which is available on CD only, came out by Svart records together with another Arktau Eos album, titled “unworeldes”, which is available on vinyl only. Their latest double release from Svart records punches the stomach right where their previous release left a red sacrificial mark. Both albums have given me, since 2006′ come to think about it, a beautiful, if not severe picture about the esoteric practice of music done by this remarkable act. This year will see a set of new releases, both sonic and visual.īandstycke spelas 19.30, första akt på scen 21.00.Įntré: 120 kr / studerande 100 kr, 18 År.I own both Mirrorion and Ai Ma Ra, with their great packaging done by Aural Hypnox.

Returning once again back to the group’s early formation, Anti Ittna H. The aquatic-lunar-seeds, mirroring forth the beginning of a new Halo Manash -cycle, have been planted by care in the invisible streams and motionless Ur-winds. The season to awaken the We-Si entities is drawing near. The group manifests itself through various mediums: audio records, films, performances, artworks, photographs and handmade artifacts. Halo Manash is a multi-medial sound- and performance group founded in Northern Finland in 1998. Yet Arktau Eos have never been comfortable with beingcalled simply a “band” as in many ways they are more like an esotericresearch unit, the work of which extends to many unseen fields outsideof the public arena. In the last eight years, Arktau Eos have constantly been recordingand refining their unusual mix of music and artwork, becoming in theprocess a group very much in demand for performances internationally.Besides Finland they have played in England, Germany, Romania, Sweden,USA and Norway. Arktau Eos present a continuously evolving set of archaic, elemental music that ranges from minimalistic, otherworldly transmissions to the harshest sounds of the natural world.
