Open your eyes… awaken your senses. Violent tranquillity, atmospheric extremity, astral brutality. This is the sound of Mithras, one of the UK’s most uncompromising and original extreme metal bands to date. Beginning their career in C.E. 1998, Leon Macey and Rayner Coss took the name Imperator, and cast their mould in the world of ancient history and mythology. Imperator soon became known as Mithras, the Roman sun-god. It was evident that this long-forgotten deity was smiling upon their efforts and would pave the way to their crushing debut album Forever Advancing…Legions. It was not long before they drew the attention of Golden Lake Productions, who signed them in the year 2001 …Legions proved to be an incredibly aggressive and technically bombastic release, a small, extreme metal milestone which caused tremors beneath the disputable thrones of the underground… The subterranean media responded with high praise and glorious tribute for this fearless newcomer and promised great things to come. And come they did, but not in their expected form. In 2002 Mithras evolved. Gone was the historical commentary and ancient god-worship of their previous incarnation. In its place sat a child of pure musical obscurity, a band that fused ambience with pitiless extremity, cosmic lyrical passages and highly unconventional uses of the musical instrument. Mithras would create a complex musical wonder: A dimensional gate to another existence, an apocalyptic, chapter to chapter epic that would bring the band face to face with astounded musical journalists and knuckle-headed, nay saying death metal conservatives. Worlds Beyond The Veil would shatter musical boundaries following its 2003 release, achieve critical acclaim in the wider world, not forgetting a record deal with renowned label Candlelight. Four years of deathly silence, hidden activity and distant meditation have passed. After nearly a decade of dreaming, Mithras will present their third offering Behind The Shadows Lie Madness on the 28th of May 2007 via Candlelight Records. Prepare for the sound of ascension, light-speed retribution on the so-called experts and anonymous critics of this dimension and the next… prepare for the deepest and most unsettling journey into the Mithras universe yet! |

чёто на данный топик меня сподвиг последний альбом Sickening Horror..


первые два альбома слушал давно, поэтому точно и не припомню, насколько они мне вкатили.. но были весьма своеобразными на то время и не без некого влияния morbid angel
экспериментальный и "слегка" атмосферный дэт. хороший, внятный звук. Последняя работа Behind The Shadows Lie Madness также оч понравилась, есть за что зацепиться уху.
вощем, кто слышал, милости прошу
