Greek black metal collective Eldingar is excited to announce the release of their second album, Lysistrata, due out on November 1st via Vinyl Store. Following the success of their 2021 debut Maenads, the band’s latest effort builds on their intense and philosophical approach to music.
Alongside the album announcement, Eldingar has also premiered the emotionally resonant single “Ode” via Invisible Oranges, who commented: “Ode deals with forlorn subject matter and thus must balance all its force with empathy. Nobody would say it’s the most emotionally devastating track in the world, despite its subject matter, but that’s a conscious decision by Eldingar. They offer support to those suffering from grief instead of trying to replicate it.”
Listen to the new single “Ode” now on Invisible Oranges.
The band shared their thoughts on the track: “”ODE” is a hymn to the enduring pain and the human struggle to assimilate grief, often finding it difficult to express sorrow through tears. The lyrics touch on the emotional states that can lead people to despair, and in some cases, to suicide. Psychological dead ends, a timeless affliction, plague humanity and ultimately bring destruction—both in our era and throughout history.”
Lysistrata delves into themes of the dissolution of armies and the rejection of power, while exploring emotional liberation from submission. Eldingar’s music combines anti-war sentiments and reverence for nature, drawing inspiration from ancient Greek philosophy and weaving them into their sound.
With Lysistrata, Eldingar continues to blend intense musicality with reflective themes, offering a new chapter in their journey. Pre-orders are now available at this location.
