NEWS: Argus Megere bask in the sunset!

Rumours of a fifth studio album after six years of silence from Romanian Atmospheric Black Metal entity Argus Megere have been substantiated with the arrival of a monumental 17 minute long composition in “Iarba-fiarelor“. The record has been titled “Cerburea apusului” (or “The Sunset’s Glow“) and will see the cold light of day on 10th December via Loud Rage Music with Bogdan Luparu of Bucovina and Andrei Oltean of E-an-na lending their talents. Pre-orders are available over at bandcamp

The band comments: “The album’s title refers to a place hidden deep within the dark forests of the Carpathian Mountains, seen at twilight. It captures a moment of powerful communion between the wild nature within us and the vast, untamed world outside. The first song we wish to reveal, “Iarba-fiarelor”, is one of the most complex pieces we have ever created. It weaves together the raw, Atmospheric Black Metal of our early roots with new shades of Post-Rock and traditional rural ambience, sounds that grew naturally from the environment where this music was born. The presence of Bogdan Luparu (Bucovina) on vocals and Andrei Oltean (E-an-na) performing traditional instruments (xylophone, flute, kaval, toacă), along with additional vocals throughout the album, adds a sacred, ancestral depth. Their contributions elevate the entire work, enriching its patriarchal, archaic atmosphere.
Yes, we are aware that “Iarba-fiarelor” is long by today’s standards, but we do not write music for hurried attention spans. This is meant to be a spiritual journey, one that asks for time, presence, and a return toward the inner self, far from the frantic pace and fifteen-second focus of the modern world.”
