Advent Of Chaos
The Greek Melodic Death Metal act AMONGRUINS return from the shadows with "Advent of Chaos", their most intense and emotionally charged album to date. Out on February 20, 2026, through Theogonia Records, this eight-track opus pushes the band's distinct fusion of aggression and atmosphere into darker and more apocalyptic territories. Following the acclaimed "Land of the Black Sun" (2023), "Advent of Chaos" marks both an evolution and a rebirth for the band, reflecting on destruction, transformation, and the chaotic cycle that binds them. From the haunting melodic lines to the relentless rhythm sections, AMONGRUINS sculpt a sonic experience that is as punishing as it is beautiful. Forged in fire and precision, "Advent of Chaos" presents a masterful balance between crushing heaviness and emotional depth. The searing guitars and dynamic melodies intertwine with immersive atmospheres that swell beneath the surface, while Sverd's ferocious vocal delivery cuts through the storm with raw conviction. The result is a dark, cinematic journey through loss, rage, and transcendence. Tracks like "Frozen to the Core" and "Advent of Chaos" set the tone for the album's apocalyptic vision, while "A Symphony of Loss" and "Night Mother" plunge deep into its emotional heart. The album also features striking guest appearances: Christianna (Elysion) lends her haunting voice to "Into the Flame", George Prokopiou (Mother of Millions, Poem) adds depth and contrast to "Open Wounds", and Christos Mitros enriches the record with brooding, atmospheric layers. Mixed and mastered once again by Saku Moilanen at Deep Noise Studios (Finland), the production captures every ounce of the band's intensity with surgical precision and crushing clarity. The visual dimension of "Advent of Chaos" is brought to life by Nikos Stavridakis (Vision Black Art), whose artwork mirrors the album's descent into turmoil and rebirth. With this release, AMONGRUINS reaffirm their standing among Europe's most promising melodic death metal bands, merging brutality, melody, and emotion into a sound that is unmistakably their own. For fans of Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum, Wolfheart, and Dark Tranquillity, "Advent of Chaos" stands as a towering monument to melodic darkness; a descent into destruction and rebirth that defines AMONGRUINS at their most powerful yet.
