Commander Agares
Commander Agares is a one-man black metal project from Hyvinkää, Finland, here on what is billed as its first North American tour. The sound is raw and abrasive: buzzing guitars set against “haunting and eerie synths that defined this style in the 90s,” slow and methodical until it speeds up at key moments, with shrill, raspy screams. Reviewers place it near Satanic Warmaster and Behexen; its label calls the debut, Legions of Descending Twilight, a “Luciferian warrior revolt.”
“Finnish one-man black metal project on its first North American tour with Utuk Xul, Dallas to New Orleans.”
