Agatus
Rite of Metamorphosis
[Iron Pegasus]


I'm not quite certain of the story behind this 7", but I'm pretty sure it was pressed by a small Australian label before being picked up and re-distributed by Iron Pegasus. An Iron Pegasus sticker has replaced the previous label's contact info anyway.

Two tracks from 1997 are presented here, one being the title track and the other being the opener 'Sorcerers until the end of time'. The opening track is very much in the old Agatus style, but without the theatrics or abundant medieval feel. Besides a few brief moments at the end that make the ears perk up, it's all quite old school sounding...

Nothing has really changed here obviously. The packaging is fucking brilliant, Agatus still produce ancient sounding black metal with the occasional unique quality, and the band REALLY need to record a new full length. Good stuff!

Limited to 270 copies according to the label.
