FYI: Akhatist means standing from the greek word "ακάθιστος" (not sitting down). It is said that during the last night of the Ottoman siege in Constantinople where all hope was basically lost, everyone gathered in the city's temple (Agia Sofia) and sang the specific hymn.

15 years ago a student from Morocco came to my place to party and played Behemoth and some of his thrash compositions on my RG Series, he blew me away then and continues to do so to this day, hands down best album of 2022!

00:00 - Osman's Dream 01:37 - Beneath the Nightfall 06:55 - Irene 13:55 - Nova Roma 19:54 - Kasifi's Verses 21:40 - Where the River Bends 28:27 - The Treacherous Hunt 34:25 - Akhatist Hymn 36:06 - The Fall of Constantinople

What in the name of the all known and unknown gods did I just listened? Enormous work has been done here !

The opener to Where the River Bends is so powerful and inspiring. Easily my favorite part of the album.

Hail from America! Fantastic album. Possibly my favorite of the year so far. Great stuff!

After having found Aeternam, I sometimes turn off in-game music and play theirs - ahhhh, the music, the lyrics; THE LYRICS - you need to know what they sing about in order to appreciate it even more.

Real good EU4 music when playing as Mehmed

This album represents the true meaning of words like Sublime, Glorious and Magnificent. Relegating aggressiveness based on speed and powerful riffs, they prioritized progressiveness and developed the oriental symphony to a level beyond what was expected for this album. A success of the band, a true work of art. Congratulations from Argentina.

Can't stop listening to this one! All of your releases have been great, but the only problem I'm having with this one is that I want to keep repeating songs, so it's hard to get through the album in one sitting! I think this has converged on the perfect balance of heavy aspects with the ethnic influences. I daresay this is the best album I've heard all year! Irene and Where the River Bends are contenders for song of the year. Keep up the flawless work, and best of luck as we head into the new year!

Utterly exceptional. A masterpiece. Well done all involved.

Fantastic work!

Increíble, épico, mágico, fantástico !!!! WOWWWWW 🤘🤘🤘❤ From Argentina👍

This really is an album of the year contestant. Very strong album, very few to no flaws at all. Really dig the middle eastern influences !

hell yeah! big congrats from Tunisia

SO GOOD!!!

Excellent album! Your hard work will be rewarded, continue releasing material such as this!

Miguel de Lys would love this 😁

Absolute Masterpiece!

Love it!

this is so not the genre i usually listen to, but i love every secons of it! i'm especially astonished by the mixing, it sounds exactly the way i would want it to.

Un autre album sublime! Bravo les gars!

470 years on and still not forgotten

Great album!

Malade les gars!! bravo pour ce solide album encore une fois!! svp arrêter pas de faire de la musique!

oh hell yeah!! another great album, the djent is strong in this one!

instrumentals are slapping!!!

Absolutely one of my favorites this year again! Al Qassam was one of my favorites 2 years ago too. You guys really can't miss! So good!

I keep coming back to listen again and again. Holy fuckkkk!!!!

This is truly your best album yet. Such sweeping, swelling beauty and historical depth - it's relentlessly moving and interesting. I'm hooked. Edit: This album has opened my eyes to entire period of history I'd slept on - since hearing this album for the first time a few weeks ago, I've been bingeing both Aeternam albums and documentaries/articles on Byzantine history. Thank you for caring so deeply about your music and your subject matter - you guys are absolutely next-level.

Just..Wow!!!...🤘

YES!

Amazing, amazing!! It's the first time i listen to them. I really like the middle eastern atmosphere.

Fantasztikus album.! A valaha egyik legjobb amit hallottam!

Oola, I'm from Brazil, I'm in love with your music! Congratulations for your work!!! I had to find good music far from my continent.

Im speechless... this album is the tits

Great band, great album, great style. I'm excited to hear more from you, especially with history (especially roman and byzantine) themes like in this gem :D Keep up the excellent work. With regards from Germany

Есть такой жанр - Oriental Metal. Amaseffer, Orphaned Land, Glasya, Aeternam, Tamerlan Empire, Symfonity, Behemoth и т.д. - из этой оперы. Кстати об опере - Therion, Dol Ammad - тоже играют ориентал.

My beloved God. Amazing album. Keep up the Great Work!

love love love love love 💖💖💖💖💖

I was hooked at "The trees grew from my bossom" 😂

While i don't think every track is good I would love to see an album about a Roman Republic or Empire before the split or Fall of the West

We need a new genre - History metal. The one that immerse you into the time period and drives to study the subject.

Sick!

morethan anything

Did one of the bandmates do the opening monologue, because Osman has just the right mix of imperial menace and helpless ectasy in his voice, like he knows he's a monster but he's God's monster. "Constantinople. Either i conquer you...or you. conquer. *me...!*

if i had a nickel for every canadian symphonic melodic death metal band with very historical lyrics I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice. (other band is Ex Deo)

how come you have bosoms?

Overall rating: 7/10 - Production TOP, Electronic elements TOP and that's all... You are not deathmetal anymore unfortunately, You mutilated into folk metal. I have Moongod and Ruins on vinyls. I have even bought Moongod training shirt .... but our common adventure ended on previous album. Was so hyped for the new one! I have listened "heir of ..." several times already and to be honest wrong direction been taken but I can understand catching more public from "metal mainstream" ...

Nowadays I feel that it's pretty difficult for bands to stay in one direction. They usually explore more or sometimes a vital member leaves the band and the creativity with them.
