At times finding piece and relief in grace, sometimes falling into a black hole of hate, and wrath, that’s how madness is and that’s what ATARAXIE is all about: the perfect and most efficient mix of the Funeral Doom desperation, the Suicidal Black / Dark Metal depression and the Old-School Death Metal raging fury, all of this with hits of swamping Sludge of the darkest kind. That’s what they’ve always been and that’s why they’re a cult acte ver since the release of their 2005 debut, "Slow Transcending Agony", but 2013’s "L’?tre et la naus?e" is without the shadow of a doubt not only their most brilliant release to date, it tops them all in all fields, from song-writing to production, from the actual musical inspiration to the perfect blending of everything desperate, dark and hopeless: an absolute must of the genre! Released on vinyl for the first time ever through XENOKORP’s Kvlt Series, the album’s been specifically remastered for the dark matter and comes as a 300 hand-numbered copies limited edition first print as a double monolith of darkness in the form of a double gatefold LP with reverse board print, black inner sleeves and the gatefold’s insides flooded in black.
