𝙅𝙤𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡 So fucking good power metalish blackened death with very versatile palette. Every song is unique, individual beast ride thru epic plains of mud, frost, fire pillars and hungry steel. So much influences from different metal genres with wicked playing. God damn this is tasty! Favorite track: Perpetual Vigil.

mangy_scots_git Has an awesome Rotting Christ vibe that I can't get enough of. Epic stuff. Favorite track: Towards Subterranean Realms.

Dave Aftandilian It’s. hard not to love an album from my Armenian brothers that delves so deeply and powerfully into our pre-Christian mythology and mysticism. I have always believed sites like the stone circle at Carahunge (Zorats Karer) are portals to unseen realms; with this album, Ildaruni guides us through these gates and reveals the wonders and terrors that lie beyond. Traditional flutes enhance the epic feel. *Hzor* (Mighty)!

about

“Beyond Unseen Gateways” is a hymn to the blazing light, which sank into shadowy shrines, to the wild darkness which covered the debris of Ardini, to the bygone flame which enlightens the sanctum of Haldi. Delivering the blend of ancient folk melodies and traditional black metal, filled with scorching aggression and chaotic transitions, the album introduces an authentic sound and a spiritual journey of mysteries untold. Each song is an indivisible part of a grand ode which explores the height of the Urartian domain and the esoteric knowledge of pagan mysticism.

May the gates of genesis reopen and herald forth an epoch of exaltation anew”.

about

Ildaruni Armenia

Ildaruni represents a blend of relentless, intense Black Metal and ancient folk melodies, forgotten from times immemorial. The lyrical themes explore the height of the Urartian domain, through the cognitive machinations of a bygone age and the esoteric apprehension of ancient pagan occultism. The ominous flame now burns stronger and the band is set to unleash its long-waited cryptic incantations. ... more
