PANTHEON LEGIO MUSICA - 'Per Aspera Ad Astra' CD (Thonar Records)
Marching Drums, enchanting Flutes and Harps, epic Chorals and the strange feeling to live inside a movie which takes place in ancient Rome, somewhere between the legion's march and the worship of a god, somewhere between Caesar and Marc Aurel, somewhere between the will for absolute power and the intuition of total decay, somewhere between history and imagination, somewhere between here and there is the Elysium of Pantheon Legio Musica and their house for all gods. Digipak.
Third release from this Polish artist. Unifying a vast array of elements, Per Aspera once again achieves remarkably introvert but vibrant style. Eerie industrial atmospheres seamlessly blend with serene harmonies of an almost orchestral form. Cinematic, monstrous drone formations morph into a pulsating abyss of dissonant disturbances and uncompromised sonic experiments, overlaid by subtle beauty of human voice and minimalist acoustic instrumentation. Ltd x 500 copies in a DVD-size digipak.
