Ditirambos al dios de la Guerra

An album full of colossal admiration for the Greek pantheon presented by the cult band Argentum.
Overwhelming hymns with Greek lyrics as components of an alchemic retort, will give you an unforgettable impression.
Music is a secret way to Homer's "Iliad", Ovid's "Metamorphoses", to Aeschylus and Hesiod, to the mythological Olympus, the sacred mountain, the residence of the gods headed by Zeus.
During the Great Dionysias in Athens choirs of singers dressed in goat skins were singing hymns - dithyrambs accompanying dances, and so is the album, full of wine and spirituality.
Drunken satyrs with tails and goat legs carry old Silenus on a donkey, a wise teacher, to the sounds of flutes, pan-pipes and timpanis.
The Agrentinian project's music opens slowly, moving from majestic hymns to resilient electronic rhythm, from conspiracy to Hercules, to the Orphic spells, to Zeus, from life to death, from pain to ecstasy.
The Olympians pass in front of us and glorify their power, interwining Futhark and Ancient Greek, symbols of war and improving the magical experience in animal and divine nature...
