Aosoth was a French black metal band known for its intense, dark, and atmospheric compositions, as well as its deep exploration of occult and esoteric themes. Formed in Paris in 2002 by members who were already involved in the French black metal scene, the band's name is derived from the draconian interpretation of Aosoth, a dark female force in the pantheon of the Order of the Nine Angles, reflecting the band's alignment with chaotic and sinister elements. Aosoth's music is characterized by its chilling ambience, dissonant guitar work, and ferocious vocal delivery, often delving into the psychological and spiritual aspects of satanic ideology.

Over the years, Aosoth developed a formidable discography that demonstrated their evolution in sound and complexity. Their later releases, such as "The Inside Scriptures" (2017), and "An Arrow in Heart" (2013), saw them refining their approach to songwriting and production, garnering them significant acclaim within the black metal community. Previous works, "III" (2011), "Ashes of Angels" (2009), and the compilation "Wrath of the Evangelikum (A Reunion of Rare Releases)" which included their early material, showcased the band's relentless pursuit of a unique and uncompromising vision. The single "Our Crown Of Sins," for instance, showcased Aosoth's ability to blend raw aggression with more expansive and intricate compositions. Despite the band's dissolution in 2018, Aosoth's legacy within the genre remains highly regarded, their music continuing to resonate with fans of extreme metal for its authenticity and dark spiritual aesthetic.
