Khthonian Hymns

Deeply inspired by Chthonic mythology and the spiritual legacy of ancient Greece, “Khthonian Hymns” marks the debut of Greek project Deisidaemonia with a work that pays tribute to the most primal essence of Hellenic black metal. Across eight ritualistic compositions, the brainchild of Athens-based musician Deisidaemon recaptures the spirit of the first generation of Greek black metal, delivering a remarkably mature and cohesive debut that reveals a strong sense of identity from its very first moments.

Alternating passages of unrelenting aggression with more epic and melodic sections, “Khthonian Hymns” blends memorable riffs, a deeply sombre atmosphere and a powerful performance, recapturing the spirit of the pioneers of Greek black metal through a clear, well-balanced production that allows every nuance of the compositions to shine. Highly recommended for fans of Rotting Christ, Varathron and Necromantia.
