Len van der Wolf Can hardly believe it's been over 10 years since this album was released. We're ready for a new one, guys ;-)

本能 Nerve wrecking, to say the least. You can't be a normal person to enjoy this kind of music. Favorite track: Into the Pit of Babel.

about

"... if there's one word to astutely depict this album, it would be 'monolithic.' For something so raw and abrasive, Mito certainly conflate the primal savagery of their 'war' metal background with many interesting things, both in songwriting and tone. From the very beginning of the unsettling "Chapter 11" which opens this album, each song on this album feels very much like a 'chapter.' There's still something very engaging about the album's craft and order. Beginning with a barrage of sincere and sardonic riffing that carries a mood of terror, before plundering into calm melody and then back into the chaos, Archaeaeon is almost like a quest that takes many turns; this gives it the depth it has, and it reflects the multi-faceted character of the album as it becomes a sprawling, eleven-limbed beast."
