After three years since their last album, Symphony of Heaven returns from their slumber with their new single “Portent of Flame” off their upcoming third album, ORDO AURUM ARCHEIA.
After honing their craft for nearly half a decade, the melodic blackened death metal act Symphony of Heaven returns three years after their last album to premiere their ferocious new offering, Ordo Aurum Archeia. Exploring a refined sound from their previous album, Symphony of Heaven pushes onward with six new songs, including the devastating “Portent of Flame.” The album as a whole presents a step in a new direction, while remaining true to the band’s roots; maintaining the brutality, while refining the majestic melody.
The album explores history as it may well have been, a concept record investigating an organization known simply as The Golden Order of the Almighty. As the album progresses, each song contains a glimpse into the history of this order, following members of their highest rank, Grandmaster. Traversing the ruins of Babylon to hunting of beasts thought to be mere legend, the album melds the history of the Order with the band’s performance.
“Portent of Flame” explores events through the eyes of Elijah the prophet, as he stands against the Prophets of Baal. Following his triumphant success, through his faith in God, he engages in combat with the prophets and emerges victorious. Musically, the band hearkens to their influences of Hypocrisy, Dimmu Borgir, and Wolfheart, while providing their own unique performances. Although the band has undergone numerous lineup changes, the heart of the band, vocalist / guitarist Pathos and drummer Asaph, joined now by bassist Turadh, stand more resilient than ever.
“Portent of Flame” is out now. Check out the video below.
