Ever wondered what happens when ancient Atlanteans from Venus decide to drop a black metal album? Buckle up, folks. IDOLOS—the self-proclaimed “guardians of Atlantean science”—are back, and they’ve traded celestial diplomacy for blistering riffs. Their debut LP, 132019, lands May 8th via Adipocere Records, and let’s just say… it’s out there.
Hailing from Limoges, France (or, y’know, Venus), this duo—MgRcH (guitars, synths) and Nnk (vocals, visuals)—has been quietly warping minds since 2020 with three cryptic EPs. Now, they’ve cranked the cosmic dial to 11. Tracks like “Thick Fiery Hair” and “Like A Shattered Anthill Following Despair”? Pure sonic avalanche. Imagine if H.P. Lovecraft fronted a black metal band—but with better lore.
IDOLOS claims to be interdimensional beings using music to save humanity from repeating Atlantis’ downfall. “Reconnect with your past or face extinction!” they warn, blending atmospheric tremolo picking with proggy synths. Rhetorical question: Is this a concept album or a survival manual? Either way, their passion is undeniable.
Nnk’s vocals? A guttural sermon. MgRcH’s guitars? Razor-sharp constellations. And those track titles—“Three Glorious Suns,” “Permanent Separation”—could double as rejected Dune chapter names. The duo even credits “mysterious blue-blooded beings” for their sound. Move over, Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust; we’ve got interstellar drama queens.
IDOLOS doesn’t just make music—they craft mythologies. Their 2023 EP, Ajchikaj teased this chaos. Now, 132019 feels like the soundtrack to a rebellion staged in a black hole.
Let’s be honest—this isn’t just music. It’s a cosmic intervention. Whether you’re here for the riffs, the lore, or the sheer audacity of citing Venusian diplomats as collaborators, IDOLOS delivers. Cynics might scoff, but hey, when’s the last time a band made you question your place in the galactic hierarchy?
“Resistance is futile… and headbangning.”
