Varathron – Untrodden Corridors of Hades
The Greek based band consists of Stefan Necroabyssious (vocals), Achilleas C (guitars), Sotiris (guitars), Stratos (bass) as well as Haris (drums) and has been active on the stage since 1989. Band’s early albums are considered to be the cornerstones of the Hellenic black metal scene, alongside the releases of Necromantia and Rotting Christ, with whom the group shared members as well as similar fascination towards early style. VARATHRON‘s trademark are mid-paced riffs that have a classic, old-school feel strengthened by a progressive view, as well as epic atmosphere that only few can match. Band’s discography includes black metal gems of the 90’s such as “His Majesty at the Swamp”(1993) and “Walpurgisnacht” (1995).
“Untrodden Corridors of Hades” was recorded, mixed and engineered by Kostas Kalampokas at Infinite Loop Music Studio(https://www.facebook.com/InfiniteLoopStudio), Greece and mastered by Tom Kvålsvoll at Strype Audio (1349, Arcturus, Darkthrone, Emperor, Code, Ulver) in Norway.
