The veil parts once again as Akhlys premiere a new visual manifestation for the track “Ephialtes.” Taken from 2020’s abyssal masterpiece Melinoë, this haunting piece is brought to life by artist Chthonia, who amplifies the intensity, mirroring the lyrical descent into terror and a nightmarish transformation of the inner self!
Akhlys mainman Naas Alcameth (Nightbringer, Bestia Arcana) comments:
“‘Ephialtes’ is represented as an invocation of the nocturnal double, encountered within the liminal threshold between waking and dreaming. The song speaks of a confrontation with an ‘other’ that is both mirror and master, initiator and adversary, through which the self undergoes an ecstatic displacement and is symbolically re-crowned through terror. The concept of dread as revelation is at the heart of the matter, the ‘mysterium tremendum et fascinans’, where the sacred manifests as something that is simultaneously fascinating and dreadful.”
‘Ephialtes’ is a central threshold within Melinoë, articulating the themes of dream-states, nightmarish images, and esoteric philosophy that define the project’s singular vision.
