Release:
ACHELOUS return with the third full-length album, "Tower of High Sorcery"!
With "Macedon" in 2018 and "The Icewind Chronicles" in 2022, ACHELOUS built a strong following in the underground metal scene, performing also in festivals such as Malta Doom and Up The Hammers. The combination of thunderous and straight-forward epic heavy metal with atmospheric passages have become a trademark for ACHELOUS and they managed to have a recognizable style. Now, in their third album they're adding even more flame and passion in their music, while there is a step forward in every aspect, including musicianship and performance. The atmosphere and the melodic parts alongside the lyrics (influenced by the Dragonlance series, among others) add a strong epic vibe with the storytelling being a key aspect of the album. With the "Tower of High Sorcery", ACHELOUS will establish their place in the current Epic Heavy Metal scene.
The album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Stathis Pavlantis at Dark Water Audio. Produced by ACHELOUS and Stathis Pavlantis. Cover art by Silvana Massa Art.
