Oresteia

San Francisco's avant - garde band Lotus Thief crafts visionary music blending doom, black metal, and post - rock elements. Their two acclaimed albums, 'Rervm' in 2014 and 'Gramarye' in 2016, drew wisdom from ancient texts for modern life. With 'Oresteia', their third record, they take their sound to new heights. It features male and female vocals, feral screams, a mix of melodic and fierce guitar work, and soaring violins. The result is a perfect balance of atmosphere and devastation. In retelling Aeschylus' ancient Greek epic trilogy, mastermind Bezaelith tackles modern topics through the blood - drenched story of the House of Atreus. 'Oresteia' is an intentional narrative with the band's most sophisticated production yet. A diverse group of musicians adds depth, like masked actors in an ancient play. The tracks offer an amphitheater - like experience with strong dynamics and ambient intersections, and it has the heaviest moments in the band's work. 'Oresteia' is available as a Digipak CD, a 2CD artbook with two bonus tracks, and on black or limited transparent red vinyl.

To enjoy 'Oresteia', simply insert the CD into your CD player or play the vinyl on your turntable. You can also play the digital version on your music - playing device. For the best sound experience, use high - quality speakers or headphones. When handling the CD or vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid smudging or scratching. Store the CD in its case and the vinyl in its sleeve when not in use. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent damage. If you have the 2CD artbook, handle it gently to avoid tearing the pages.
