Italian/Polish black metal band Amalekim continues their collaboration with Avantgarde Music to release their third album, Shir Hashirim, two years after their previous work Avodah Zarah.Tracklist:
Founded in 2020 by Mróz (vocals and guitar), Amalekim released their first album, HVHI, the same year. In 2022, the band, with a completely renewed line-up, released their sophomore album, Avodah Zarah to critical acclaim. The traced path now continues with Shir Hashirim, their third work, walking a more innovative path and encasing more dissonant sounds. The new work embraces once again the occult, the profane, the hermetic, not only in the music, but also in the concept and lyrics.
The concept of inversion returns as a common thread in this new work. As in the previous work, Avodah Zarah, the biblical metaphor is at the heart of the project. In this case, the parable of the two mothers and Solomon, as shown on the cover, lends itself to a complex interpretation, such as the role of power and the choice to submit to it, dogmatic authority, divine law, and how these references, crystallised and widespread in everyday existence, are in reality fragile and not so unshakeable. The presence of alchemical and occult references from different traditions is again meant to be a journey for the experienced listener. For those who know how to search, with eyes and ears stretched out, for those who are not afraid to take a step into the abyss, there will be references and formulae, far and near.
With several concerts performed in Italy and abroad and a European tour planned (alongside with Exequiae Sacro), Amalekim's march continues without restraint.
Mixed and mastered by Amalekim’s bassist Azghâl, with a cover illustration once again painted by Igor Datkiewicz.
