We are thrilled to announce the special
vinyl edition of neoprogsters Akenathon’s
3rd album, Crónicas Intrascendentes. Rooted in Argentina’s
rich prog tradition, yet defiantly genre-crossing, Akenathon’s latest eclectic
progeny marks a deep exploration of cinematic textures, dark atmospheres, and
intricate arrangements. Since their formation in 2000, Akenathon has been at
the forefront of Argentina’s thriving and trailblazing neoprog scene, carving a
unique path that combines classical training, jazz, metal, hard rock,
electronic textures, and progressive rock, in a unique fusion style. Crónicas
Intrascendentes features seven tracks that balance refined eclecticism with
symphonic complexity, against the background of the permeating concept of
suppressed memories, alternative temporality and unobservable experiences. The
album kicks off in a cinematic mode with “Queja de un Bufón,” a dynamic, dark
progression that might be likened to a prog metal re-imagining of Goblin via
the theatricality of Arcturus, while flowing smoothly into the symphonically
oriented “Irresistible Tic”. The symphonic aura continues to encapsulate the
otherwise polymorphic compositions that ensue, stretching from the tango
passages of “Vincent y Los Cuervos” to the shrieking guitars of “La Muerte del
Zapatero,” while the album concludes most unexpectedly with the cosmic psychedelic
raga of Huellas. This special limited edition comes in 200 hand-numbered
copies, 100 in black, and 100 in splatter vinyl, with a 2-page insert.
