A Caress of War and Wisdom is the debut EP of Greek Black Metallers, Zephyrous. It compiles material from their split with Vorphalack (who rule BTW) as well as a bonus song. So thin and laden with chintzy keyboards are these recordings, it almost sounds like video game music in parts. A Caress of War and Wisdom is definitely one of those magikal releases that is just too strange to not love. Sort of aesthetically in the same forest as Hearse favorites, Benighted Leams.
This fucking rules! Any chance of putting up the 1999 LP Towards? I cant find that one anywhere. Love this wonky greek stuff!
ReplyDeleteThank you Aesop! These guys need some listening to.
ReplyDeleteI remember hearing this for the first time when I was 10 years old or so, completely mind blowing. I thought this stuff was so funny and completely awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis wasn't put when you were 10.
ReplyDeletethis is great! kinda has a generic foreign music / karaoke feel at times, which only makes it more endearing. they must have 3 keyboardists. if you like wispy, fantastic, keyboard-driven black metal, another good place to look is Vordven's "Towards the Frozen Stream." but you already knew that.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the greatest releases from the Greek underground.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. I love my metal. Nice page as well. In addition, I am told to do this:
