Out now! Labyrinthe of Auximenes

The Labyrinthe of Auximenes marks a profound evolution in Dinenthal's musical journey. Departing from their earlier black metal roots, the album delves into gothic horror, ambient, and neoclassical realms, reflecting a period of personal loss and introspection.

Conceptual Foundation

The album's title draws inspiration from the mythic Labyrinthe of Auximenes—an ever-shifting labyrinth leading to the lost world of Midian, a realm that survived the collapse of the previous universe. This allegorical setting serves as a metaphor for navigating the depths of despair, doubt, and existential questioning. The narrative explores themes of grief, faith, and the fragility of belief in the face of sorrow.

Musical Landscape

Musically, the album presents a gothic horror soundscape, characterized by sorrowful melodies and atmospheric compositions. Tracks such as "Unfathomable Loss," "The Falls of Sorrow on the River of Grief," and "Whispered Ruin of Faith" move between grand, almost liturgical compositions and moments of raw, whispered vulnerability. This blend creates an experience that is both unsettling and deeply human.

Availability

The Labyrinthe of Auximenes is available for purchase in vinyl and CD formats at Elastic Stage and digitally on all major platforms, including Bandcamp.

This album stands as a testament to Dinenthal's ability to channel personal anguish into a compelling sonic narrative, offering listeners a journey through the labyrinth of the human soul.
