专辑简介

On their debut album, Gilgamesh picks up the heritage of the great Mesopotamian civilisation, vanished since millennia. Named after the Sumerian godlike King from the eponymous heroic epic, they open a new chapter of Oriental extreme music: In a world where society is submitted to the vengeful Gods, The Awakening addresses epic, myths and occultism from a bygone era. The 8 songs lead the listener into legendary battles, obscure ceremonies and mystical cults of gods.

Driven by blastbeat-oriented drums, they build a bridge between pounding Death Metal and melodic Black Metal. Gloomy riffs encounter an epic roar. Filled with oriental elements, Gilgamesh’s music introduces the listener to a multi-faceted blackened Death Metal. The album’s sound comes from the Woodshedstudios of V. Santura (Triptykon, Dark Fortress) and blends together the limits of both genres. Fans of Keep of Kalessin, Behemoth and Hate will get their money’s worth with this newcomer.
