Varathron

Varathron is a Greek black metal band that has carved a significant niche in the extreme metal scene since its inception in 1988. The band, founded in the city of Ioannina, emerged at a time when black metal was still forging its identity, and they quickly became one of the forerunners of the Hellenic black metal movement, a regional variant of the genre characterized by its atmospheric elements and often melodic approach. Varathron's sound marries the rawness of black metal with the richness of heavy metal's instrumentation and darkly poetic themes, which has earned them a dedicated following.

Throughout their career, Varathron has remained a prolific and influential act within the extreme metal world, consistently releasing material that honors their original vision while expanding upon their musical influence. Notable among their recent releases is "Patriarchs of Evil", dropped in 2018 to critical acclaim; it served as a powerful reminder of their legacy and relevance in the modern metal landscape. Albums like "Walpurgisnacht" and "Glorification Under the Latin Moon" highlight their dark, mythological lyrical content and complex song structures that have become their trademark. Through their vivid storytelling and atmospheric compositions, Varathron has solidified its standing as a pillar of the black metal community, continuing to cast a long shadow over the genre's ever-evolving landscape.
