Raw black metal in the vein of numerous others,
but orchestrated! Aryos,
hailing from France, might as well hail from the dark woods of northern
Norway. There are some post-modern effects with some creepy sampling
and ambient moments. They also have some melody with their different
shade of keyboard effect and also slow down a bit from time to time.
It sounds like Beherit (Oath of Black Blood), but even MORE raw. I
don't know what it is with black metal (either too raw or too over-rated
for the style), but it seems everyone tries to sound like someone
else. I know Aryos do not have those intensions, but you guys should
polish your sound a little so that everyone can understand the uniqueness
or even the familiarity of the music. Maitre des Dominations Cérébrales
has a lot more to show than what has been elaborated in the mixing
room. No polishing is required; just a little more of an aggressiveness
or drive could help. For fans of unique & occult black metal like
Antaeus, Blut Aus Nord or Lunar Onlooker.
