TZEVAOT – The Hermetic Way CD [PRE-ORDER]

Born between the UK and Morocco from the mysterious singer/multi-instrumentalist known as The Orator, TZEVAOT is a vehicle through which the occult – not just theatrics, but actual hidden mechanisms of reality – are unveiled. Merging the ever-malleable black metal sound with death, thrash and heavy metal elements, and with progressive, classical and jazz compositional influences, TZEVAOT’s first offering – appropriately named “The Hermetic Way” – is a dive into the ancient school of mystical understanding which ultimately gave rise to the modern scientific disciplines, bridged the gaps between pagan and Abrahamic theology, and bestowed the world with the greatest practical synthesis of Graeco-Egyptian wisdom.
Wrapped in a stunning painting by Luciana Nedelea, TZEVAOT’s “The Hermetic Way” is an album of magnetic charm, made even more intriguing on one track by the narration of Lon Milo DuQuette, the world’s most cited living occult author and a high-ranking figure in the Astrum Argenteum and the Ordo Templi Orientis, both institutions founded and shaped by Aleister Crowley during his lifetime. TZEVAOT complements the esoteric depth of their themes with incredibly creative music that, thanks to a mercurial songwriting, moves coherently and masterfully through every facet of black metal, tempering its raw, cutting sounds with compelling prog orchestrations.
Each tune like a symphony, each lyric like an illuminating esoteric light – TZEVAOT’s debut offering is a unique piece of art.
