‘CHANNEL: LUNACY’ is the second full length album from horror themed melodic death metal band AGARWAEN. The album, produced by Teemu Aalto (INSOMNIUM, OMNIUM GATHERUM), introduces a fictional cult named ‘Bloodstained’ that recruits lunatics to its cause.
Musically, the band meshes a wide variety of styles to match its dark lyrics, including death, black, thrash and even power metal to mix with a nightmarish industrial atmosphere.
AGARWAEN formed in 2006 but broke up after releasing their ‘VRYKOLAKAS’ EP in 2010. After reforming in 2019 and releasing their debut album ‘DOTTORE I,’ the band continued to perfect their sound with ‘CHANNEL: LUNACY.’
As ‘LOBOTOMY,’ reveals, the album’s horrifying lyrics are matched by the band’s industrial tinged style of aggressive melodic death that is both unhinged and unpredictable.
