after i listened quite a lot to "oracles" because it is probably the best doom metal record i came across this year so far, i wanted more. the overall oriental/mesopotamian theme really appealed to me and so i checked what further works the duo might have under their belt. i stumbled upon their most recent album "eidolon" from two years ago. i checked possibilities to grab a copy on the internet and found an option at high roller records from germany. i added a copy of "eidolon" to the two gorguts re-issues, i wrote about recently, and it arrived here in prime condition.
it seems like the two dude's favourite subject in school were the history lessons. "oracles" brought us back into the ancient middle east and "eidolon" tells a story of a high culture from south america. frankly, i have to admit that i fail to distinguish between maya, aztec and inca. i read in some review it was about the aztec. can anyone shed some light on the issue? musically this is yet another masterpiece of mystic atmosphere and heavy drone/doom metal. the guys in zaum have such a delicate sense of the right balance - you have to hear it! this is a re-press on "emerald" green out of 333 copies. i hate records. 2016/2017.
