SAMSON AGONISTES was inspired by the epic poem by John Milton by the same name. The first track. Into Danger's Mouth. is a prog-metal influenced song written by Sam Ellis, featuring his bass guitar talents. The track was mixed and arranged by Vinyl Dial who added further electronic instrumentation. I (First Kings) wrote my track to pair with theirs, as the dark aftermath to its aggressive action.
I wouldn't have expected this mix of genres (vaporwave electronic music with black metal vocals) to work, but it does very well. Favorite track: ? [CODENAME_AUTO-BRIGHTNESS] First Kings
For this LP, Formen modified old 16bit effects units which were then cascaded via internal patch points to develop a glitchy sound. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 18, 2021
