ASTERION “Zerzura” /Digipack CD/

The second full-length album by the Chilean Death Metal/Progressive Metal band.
Perfect mix of Death/Doom and Gothic with Progressive Metal.
Pure old school Doom-style with guttural and deep voices with a heavy, crushing drums, guitar riffs, acoustic structures that can be described as Epic or Medieval look, even mythological, using these acoustic or percussion, crystal clear sound and clean vocals parts. It's remembering some old Tiamat in his episode "Wildhoney" and so on, as well as Pungent Stench, Therion (but without the opera), of course at its own way of expression and its own innovative and interesting proposal.
"Zerzura" is an idea developed by the band over a long mythological journey based on "The Book of One Thousand and One Nights", Arabian tales of medieval Middle East, hence the influential epic / Arabic ambience. The word that gives name to this album is the name of the legendary lost city of Zerzura.
Atmospheric sound and obscures melodies, an interesting travel to the unknown world of Zerzura. Excellent album!!
