EOSFORA by OGMIOS
Ogmios second album 'EOSFORA' picks up where their previous album, 'Ogmios Slays Gargantan and Baal Muyan at Golgous,' left off—this time delving into the delicate triadic relationship between humanity and the sun. Too close, and we burn; too far, and we freeze to death.
Our unique position within the Goldilocks zone allows life to flourish, a fragile balance that underpins the album’s themes.
The record embraces these natural dichotomies.
Side A is a testament of a journey at light speed toward the sun, riding its rays and worshiping their divine energy. The opening track, 'EOSFORA,' is a hymn to the mother of light, followed by 'KROTOS'—a percussive-laden chant where performers violently interchange in rhythmic dialogue. By track three, ‘MAVRI TRYPA,' we are sucked into a black hole, symbolised by the relentless, Gabber-like beat of the drum machine. The final track, 'ΗΓΙΑΧΤΙΔΑ' (Light Ray), ascends toward catharsis on a duo-phonic poem.
Side B finds equilibrium—the perfect distance from the sun. 'M☉' is a 22-minute meditative piece, weaving intricate melodies, atmospheric layers, and rich textures into a hypnotic soundscape.
Each album is conceived as a meditation and a cathartic ritual, recorded in the studio before being produced into final compositions.
