Archaicus

Archaicus Is An Atmospheric Black Metal Band Formed In 2002 With 2 Official Demos 'Beneath The Horizon' 2003 And 'The Elder Scape' 2004 . The First Demo 'Beneath The Horizon' Does Not Really Explicitly Resemble Any Other Band's Style. It Is A Mixture Of Dark Sounding Ambient/classical Guitar Parts Interspersed With Semi-'De Mysteriis...' Sounding Black Metal And Possibly A Black/Thrash Feeling In Some Moments. The First Demo's Medieval Imagery Is Slightly Evident In The Music But More Obvious On 'The Elder Scape' Where The Band Adopted A More Bathory Influenced Sound Yet Still With Some Of The Speed And Pace Of The First Demo. Comparable Bands Are Arguably Enslaved Early Aeternus Earlier Enthroned And Emperor. Vortigern Has Openly Expressed His Hatred For The Rest Of The British Black Metal Scene.

The Debut Orpheus Album 'Philosopher Of The Sublime' Contains Some Traces Of The Stylings Of Archaicus But It Is Obviously Significantly Different Enough That It Was Wise To Form A New Band. read less
