Metal Tartaros Carnival black metal from a creator of extremely goofy and twisted evil aesthetic. Black metal's wicked melodrama found adherents worldwide in the gothic tradition of narrative melodrama as vital forces enact upon one another the combinations of their fate, only to plunge further into the blindness of existence and death. One could say Tartaros is that agency also in its creation of dream music, where the narrative winds through insane tunnels of logic and finally spins itself into nothingness. Drifting keyboard riffs fill the most of the sound that will come from your CD player, followed by the crashing fire of guitars and the vibrating husk of bass warbling behind.
Song structures are closest to techno, with breaks and breakdowns and re-entry phases.
It never loses intensity but winds through the passageways of the mad. Dark Red light Upon the Bomos 2. Images of the Mystic Sphere 3. Tones Towards the Empyrean 4. Aesthetically almost carnival gothic and rhythmically close to the waltzes of Graveland mixed with the pop throb from Ace of Base, this music is both ludicrous and intriguing through the clarity of its ability mixed with its deliberate obscurity.
