Created separately to the ongoing Melmoth album trilogy, the 2 new tracks which comprise this EP originate from the prolific Swiss band’s desire to try out a slightly different approach to Black Metal without disturbing the coherence of the three-part Triade.
“Phthonos” is the first time AARA have worked with an outside producer, and the mixing/mastering by Markus Stock (ALCEST, EMPYRIUM, SCHAMMASCH) has bolstered the clarity, textural heft, focus and power of what is a compulsive one-two of contemporary melodic Black Metal.
In Greek mythology Phthonos is son of the goddess Nyx and the personification of envy and ill will. Conceptually the EP deals with the negative emotions and darker characteristics of beings, the lyrics originating from two of Aesop’s fables, in which the frog appears as an envious, loudmouthed and malevolent naïf as portrayed on the distinctive cover artwork.

If blast beats with a ride cymbal don’t make you happy, nothing will.

[@Joni_Tarvainen]

Aara is one of those bands that always brings a wmile on my face. These guys have something incredible here and En Ergo Einai alone as album has got me through difficult times. This band is an inspiration for me musically and Aara has become one of my favorite bands in a really short time, perfect black metal to my taste.

Insane Drums

[@jeremyfaulkner1048]

The drums are the thing I like least about this band. Good playing but synthetic sounding.

[@Clownconspirator]

one of the best contemporary bands to keep an eye on

Can someone add Lyrics i speak german but cant understand a single word. (Just assuming this song is in german aswell)

[@LordMadeira]

I also really wanted the lyrics, but I can't find them anywhere on the internet

[@icetbaggins7999]

I see aara and I just need to listen. 🤘👁🫦👁✌️

[@LiteLagom]

The riff at 4:57 is VERY similar to the riff in Darkthrones song Cromlech (1m 22s into the song) kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3KomWaAl9dqic0

[@metal_monocle7334]

Holy shit, you're right! Always felt that, that riff had a very norwegian vibe to it - guess that explains it
