Servant
Aetas Ascensus
Age of Ascension! With their impressive debut "Blessed By The Light Of A Thousand Stars", Servant were among the black metal surprises of 2021. Now, with "Aetas Ascensus", the successor is ready to confirm the high expectations, which they undoubtedly succeed! With the new 9 songs, Servant fulfill the claim to take the next step. Musically, much of the new material seems more furious and wild. Blast beats are paired with complex harmonic guitar surfaces and merge with the authentic vocals to create an emotionally charged atmosphere. Melody and harmony are the cornerstones of another impressive Black Metal work, which lyrically deals with a variety of religious texts, whereby Gnosis plays a major role here and the politics behind it also plays a role. The album also contains songs about emperors and kings who have fallen victim to madness and have helped to build themselves and their empire. Aetas Ascensus is a complex piece of music that is bursting with a wealth of detail. Anyone who already enjoyed the debut, which was influenced by Scandinavian Black Metal, will love the no less majestic, latently symphonic and yet more brute successor!
