Amaethon
This Eternal Famine
Amaethon is a project of Jake Wayman (Tulpa Twin, Altdahn, Calcraft, Saturnian Gateways), based in Austin, Texas.
'This Eternal Famine' has a theme of "post-apocalyptic radiological desolation, focusing more directly on individuals after society collapses. Musically it takes heavy influence from black metal of the Slavic nations and post-black-experimentation of North America", with plenty of ambient, acoustic, atmospheric interludes alongside the challenging song structures, delirium and delight in healthy balance.
It was a very illuminating experience being able to dive deeper into 'This Eternal Famine', and I thank Jake for trusting me with his sounds and concept.

The cover and booklet artwork uses 'The Angelus' (French: L'Angélus); "an oil painting by French painter Jean-François Millet, completed between 1857 and 1859. Millet’s painting, 'Prayer for the Potato Crop' was modified by the painter with the addition of a church steeple in the distant background, and was then renamed The Angelus; a term for a daily Catholic prayer. The prayer and the ringing of the church bell mark the end of a day's work."
