COMMANDER AGARES a.k.a the Festival General Jani with band from Hyvinkää. Very good gig this year also!  All hail Jani!!

 

I first saw (and got aware of) them when visiting my first Steelfest in -22.  During the festival weekend COMMANDER AGARES released a split with GRAVELAND (who also played at the festival) and they sold it in the merch tent:) Cool stuff always happens at this fest.
This year the Commander released a split with The True Werwolf. One song each. Just found out about it myself and listening right now.
Released in January this year @ Inferna Profundus Records.

“By dyad spells of darkness dirge black metal triumph do two entities hailing from the darkest corners of the Finnish hinterlands conspire oaths of wolven shadow, these by herald of The True Werwolf and Commander Agares, their bloodstained black barbarism to shake even the immortality of the world tree itself. “
– Inferna Profundus Records

First day at the festival and I didn´t yet know how our host and festival general looked like. So when seeing COMMANDER AGARES on stage, I didn´t realize that the guy was right there. They just made a limited edition split with GRAVELAND to be released the day after the gig. Guess it was available in the merch. All Hail Jani Laine :)

Diabolik, who’s lyrics breath on this album, continued the journey beyond stars during recordings of the album. Never witnessed the final form of Commander Agares.”
