Aquilus is a music project that delves into the atmospheric blend of black metal and neoclassical music, masterminded by the Australian multi-instrumentalist and composer, Waldorf. Rising from the relative obscurity of the vast Australian landscapes, Aquilus weaves a tapestry of sounds that embody the beauty and melancholy of nature. The project is known for its rich, orchestral soundscapes that are as deeply moving as they are haunting.

The debut album "Griseus," released in 2011, garnered attention for its unique fusion of styles, creating an expansive and emotional sonic journey. Since then, Aquilus has continued to evolve and refine its sound through subsequent releases. Tracks like "Bellum I" and "Lucille's Gate" offer glimpses into the ambitious narrative and sound design Waldorf is capable of crafting, leading listeners through epic and diverse musical passages. The atmospheric elements of "Into Wooded Hollows" and the raw beauty of "Arbor" showcase Aquilus's prowess in combining symphonic elements with a raw black metal undercurrent, creating immersive and evocative musical experiences that are distinctive within the genre.
