Primordial Rites

Primordial Rites is the debut album by Pterodactylus, the black metal and dungeon synth project of Galician musician and designer Iago Méndez Suazo. Nine tracks that move between atmospheric black metal and the cold, synthesizer-driven spaces of dungeon synth, evoking prehistoric worlds and primordial darkness. The reference points are clear: Paysage d'Hiver, Jötgrimm, early Summoning and Abigor, the buried dungeon doom synth of Trollmann av Ildtoppberg, and the theatrical rawness of Evol. But Primordial Rites is not an exercise in imitation. It is a record with its own internal logic, its own atmosphere, its own sense of geological time. For those who like their music ancient, raw, and uncompromising.
