Firtan - Helios - CD/Vinyl

FIRTAN's new album, Helios, charts the brutal path to enlightenment. Not as an escape, but as a conquest. Named after the sun itself, the album explores what it means to become the strongest and clearest version of oneself in a world designed for distraction and decay.

Fusing the raw, atmospheric ferocity of black metal with the crushing weight of death metal, Helios mirrors the album's core theme of clarity forged through struggle.

Evocative acoustic and electric violin melodies weave through the compositions, creating tension and complexity with their melancholic and experimental tones. This enhances the band's intricate riffing and unexpected musical shifts. The incorporation of acoustic instruments, ritualistic chants and analogue synthesizers adds layers of depth and atmosphere.
