(2006) Arising from the verdant soils of Cascadia, Alethes bring us their epic debut album "Aletheia". Originally conceived as ritual, these are five timeless compositions comprised of mournful and warm acoustic guitars, shamanistic percussion, classical strings and deeply ancient vocal harmonies, with guest percussionist Markus Wolff (Waldteufel, Blood Axis). Digging deep into the Earth and reaching ever higher to the Heavens in the eternal quest for illumination. Alethes emerge from tradition and disappear into Nature's shadows, yearning for a time past, or yet to be, where the ancient fires burn bright and the cycles of life are awarded their proper respect. This wonderful pressing features black foil stamping on obscure black leathery stock. Outsized 6-panel digifile, limited to 1000 copies.
