No Grace, No Solace!

Paths to Deliverance is a sonic and conceptual exploration deeply rooted in themes of horror and mysticism,
inspired by the works of Carl Jung, masters of horror, and the Tibetan Bardo concept.

Without setting any musical barriers, Paths to Deliverance offers a very personal version of Black Metal, that will appeal to those looking to push conventions.

Crafted by A.S.A (Alkhemia, Azziard…) and enriched by James Spar (Alkhemia), LePrince (Alkhemia, En Finir), Gorgeist (Azziard, Nydvind), Charles Duplouy (Cave Growl), Nathan Faure (Skaphos).

EXTRACT FROM REVIEWS

« Where the band truly excels is in crafting gripping songs filled with variation, ranging from razor-sharp brutality to crushing heaviness.

You can tell that nothing was left to chance. Once Redemption ends, only silence and ashes remain. What an album! » MUSIKA

» Paths to Deliverance are a very great sounding avant garde black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. » OCCULT BLACK METAL WEBZINE

« The album offers a great variety for a black metal record, both in rhythms and atmospheres. Just turn up the volume, let your blood pulse to the beat of this infernal double bass drum, and headbang like there’s no tomorrow (which maybe there isn’t…). » BACKINROCK

« Fans of Der Weg einer Freiheit, Deathspell Omega, and Marduk will be enthralled by the mix of brutality, melancholy, horror, and melody that defines this deeply personal interpretation of black metal. » TIME FOR METAL
