“This is a mighty, alluring work, an album that leaves you battered but profoundly more connected to this world and the next.”
– Meat Mead Metal
“This really is one of those albums that you need to hear to believe, and you’ll see why within minutes of tapping in.”
– Toilet ov Hell
“Ceremony of Silence are still capable (indeed more so) of mounting head-spinning shock-and-awe assaults on the senses.”
– No Clean Singing
“A brutally focused, yet gloriously meandering exploration of modern extremes. A second step taken into their brilliantly glowing portal.”
– Mystification Zine
“This is a very accomplished release from a band clearly packing huge talent.”
– Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life
“Hálios is insidious. It grows like a plague, slowly burning through your defences with a lethal inevitability. It’s not a casual listen, but one that requires a mindset of surrendering to the unrelenting horror that it portrays.”
– Wonderbox Metal
“A very unique listening experience that stands out from a genre with so many bands with its intensity and convincing power.”
– Metal.de
Building upon the foundation laid by their debut album, this new release delves even deeper into the band’s unique blend of brutality and atmosphere. The album radiates with suffocating intensity, introducing a richer, more atmospheric dimension to the band’s sound, while retaining some of the band’s signature aspects of haunting melodies, or breathtaking gradations.
Unborn, all-pervading and radiant. The immutable light of the Universe, our fundamental inherent nature, and a bridge to the mythical time. Hálios represents a breakthrough of the sacred into the temporal world, and sets forth on an eerie journey reenacting old stories inspired by the essence of the ancient Indo-European mythology, entwined in obscure visions and dreams.
