Rorcal - κρέων Creon
Review by Henry Armitage
The album κρέων Creon by Rorcal is a hauntingly beautiful and intense experience that leaves a lasting impression on the listener. The Swiss metal band has created a masterpiece of atmospheric black metal that is both intricate and powerful.
The album is inspired by the Greek tragedy of Antigone, and the themes of betrayal, power, and morality are woven throughout the music. The tracks are dark and brooding, with heavy riffs and intricate guitar work that create a sense of unease and tension. The vocals are raw and emotional, adding to the intensity of the music.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Σοφοκλής Sophocles," which features haunting choral vocals and a driving rhythm that builds to a crescendo. The track "Αιμύλιος Emelius" is another highlight, with its intricate guitar work and atmospheric soundscapes.

About Rorcal
RORCAL offers a trip through different atmospheres. Sometimes heavy, sometimes melancholic, the fogy worlds were the musicians float are composed of as much desperate cries than raging fury. Born by the gathering of 5 members of various bands from Geneva (Switzerland) in 2006, the formation is highly active through their gigs and writings. After a first EP ("The way we are, the way we were, the way we will be..."), an audiovisual project in collaboration with different musicians (Monochrome), a ten-musicians split with Kehlvin (Ascension) and many gigs in Switzerland, Belgium and France, the band just released their first full length CD. Through this concept album, the band purposes to discover the tale of "Myrra, Mordvynn, Marayaa". Somewhere between the skies and abysses, Rorcal offers a powerful and melodic music, like the migration of colossus through a frozen hell.
