In the decade since their first release the group has gone through many
line up changes and explored many different perspectives. They have worked
with Grammy award-winning producer Neil Kernon, played Festival Obscuro in
Mexico City with H.I.M. and Tristania, shared the stage with the likes of
Nightwish and Kamelot, and embarked on a full North American tour with
Therion in 2007.

This 10 year anniversary edition of “Here Lies One” features 8 additional
tracks; an unpredictable remake of “Stay“? by Edward Davidson (Attrition,
Orchard of Comradery) fuses many different musical elements and gives the
song a whole new meaning, while the “Introit II” (reMind) remix by the
group’s original members N. Copernicus and John Prassas highlights their
early industrial influences and ends up sounding like Enya lost in the
Matrix.

The group took one of its early influences, Kate Bush, and reflected one
of her songs like an imperfect and invisible mirror reflecting its inner
self. This remake emphasizes a new syncopation and has a harder edge that
reflects the songs original deep shadow.

In December 2007, a fan of the band wrote to share his idea for a guitar
solo to add to the song “Darkness”. “This idea showed a lot of potential,
and in my opinion really grasped the original idea of the song,”? said
Prassas, the groups original founder. “This version of Darkness Arena was
a great opportunity to connect the groups early lineup with its current
lineup. So I began working on it.”

Much like the original intentions of Aesma Daeva - melding the lyrics of
the past with music of today - this album melds the line up of the past
with the line up of today. After 10 years Aesma Daeva’s growing body of
work reflects musical maturity and an unremitting desire to move forward,
coupled with an appreciation for its past. A.D. is like a phoenix rising
from its own ashes.

Press Release.

“In water, final Lord”

At an unspecified future in the depths of the ocean, the engulfed structures of man remain standing. Beneath the spires, stoic brass melodies resonate against the once-powerful dome. Among the singing of whales, like counterpoint from the depths, we can still hear the monk-like chant of the sunken cathedral echoing the final days of man. Modal and pentatonic themes with parallel chord movement sing a new praise to the adage that nature will always win.

From deep within the ocean’s abyss comes a melody, “The Garden I long for” - a title inspired by one of the last paintings of Vincent Van Gogh. Kostas Grigoreas, an eminent member of the Greek guitar fraternity and one of the most serious figures in the field of classical guitar, performs this haunting refrain.
This garden has the Japanese elements that Van Gogh loved. Asian scales and gongs accompany murmuring guitars that sweep through the piece like brightly colored schools of fish.

“Deep wounds, vast seas that rack and crash.”

The various colors and moods of the ocean’s paintbrush are echoed in “The Loon - Thalassa Mix”. Lori Lewis’s voice symbolizes the stable lighthouse of the song, while the visual evocation of crashing waves and glittering water flood the final moments of the song.

The Thalassa Mixes is now available.

Nuestro primer EP “The Thalassa Mixes” está ahora disponible en CD.

Una de las dinamicas de AD, es el aumento de arreglos simfonicos en las canciones de este CD, viene con un folleto de 8 páginas a todo color, pistas de audio estándar de muy buena calidad, asi como pistas de audio masterizadas en 24 bits que pueden ser codificados a FLAC, DVD Audio y otros codificadores de audio digital.

En nuestra opinión este es un álbum que si se compra en el formato mp3 no podrá disfrutar la experiencia completa de la calidad del audio. También si una E-bomba apaga tu descarga, tendrás que comprar los mp3’s de nuevo.

“In water, final Lord”

En un futuro indeterminado en las profundidades del océano, las sumergidas estructuras del hombre por intentar permanecer de pie. Bajo la torre, las melodías estoicas resuenan en el latón contra la poderosa cúpula. Entre el canto de las ballenas, como contrapunto de las profundidades, todavía podemos escuchar el canto del monje como el eco vano de la catedral anunciando los últimos días del hombre. Temas con acordes pentatónicos y modales con movimientos paralelos cantan alabanzas al adagio de la naturaleza permanente.

Desde las profundidades del abismo surge una melodía, “The Garden I long for”, un titulo inspirado en una de las últimas pinturas de Vincent Van Gogh. Kostas Grigorias, un eminente miembro de la fraternidad de la guitarra griega y una de las más serias figuras en el campo de la guitarra clásica, al interpretarla se abstiene de su inconfundible estilo.

Este jardín tiene los elementos japoneses que Van Gogh amaba. Escalas asiáticas y gongs acompañan el murmullo de las guitarras que se arrastran a través de la pieza como una escuela coloreada de peces brillantes

“Heridas profundas, mares vastos que golpean y devanan.”

Los diversos colores y humores del pincel del océano se hacen eco en “The Loon-Thalassa Mix”. La voz de Lori Lewis simboliza el faro estable de la canción, mientras la evocación visual choca contra las olas y el agua brillante inunda los momentos finales de la canción
