Bio: Formed in 2002 as a side project of french act Antaeus, the band took another dimension when Antaeus ceased to exist as a live formation after 12 years. While Antaeus sets boundaries for violent grinding black metal, Aosoth delivers more dissonnant and 90s death metal elements combined with the w... See Full Bio

“• “Continues to experiment with their uncompromising black metal, incorporating slower tempos, more dynamic arrangements and compositional space, and sporadic ambient/noise elements…more intensely personal than their previous efforts…complex, engaging, and equally punishing” – Terrorizer [8/10 rating] • “Drenched in languid, festering spite, Aosoth’s III soars on wings of black death far above the frozen landscape of false pretenders. Revealing far greater depths than their previous (worthy) endeavours hinted at, the extent of what has been building these last few years is finally clear: decrepit black chaos. Exposing an utterly different aura to the band, the LP is much darker, much more dissonant, retaining the vile corruption of groove-based songcraft whilst progressing in wildly unexpected tangents…a far more concerted proposition” – Zero Tolerance ”

“AOSOTH - "III" LEGACY - 13 / 15 !! "Ultraschwere, schwarzmetallische Riffs - ein gewaltiger Klangsturm!" (Dominik Irtenkauf) ROCK HARD - 7,5 / 10 "Eine gigantische, schwarze Soundwand!" (Götz Kühnemund) METAL.DE - 8 / 10 "Das wohl unheilvollste Album der Franzosen - brutal, unnachgiebig, finster und vor allem unglaublich intensiv!"”

— German reviews of III

“• “A harrowing atmosphere…an album so massively produced and hostile that all the seraphim who experience it have no choice but to beat their wings or lose them through a swift, infernal devolution. But with this new album, the Frenchmen also draw comparisons to the current crop of highly cavernous, retrograde death metal acts that are populating the sub cellars and sepulchers of the underground: delivered through the impossible, thick resonance of their doom-driven guitar tone…easily a more consistent experience for those seeking to immerse themselves in a most dire realization of their surroundings, a window that cuts through the pleasantries of mundane being to reveal the appalling, parasitic subtext of all Creation. Had Aosoth included a spade and coffin with this record, I might never be writing to you again…The stakes have been raised, and they're ready to welcome our unsuspecting, human husks” – [8.25/10 rating]”

“This is the second album from this French black metal quartet. They are from Ile-De-France, which is an eastern suburb of Paris. According to answers.com, Aosoth is the name of a female demon. An occult website describes this demon as a dark female force in the pantheon of 9 angles. The firewolf, sole child of the demoness Atazoh and angel of venus. 3rd in command to the fire god, Eitan Flerous(phire demon). ... more on the link. 17/20”

“6/7 Paris - Die Stadt der Liebe und des gutes Essens; die Speerspitze der "Haute Couture" und seit 2002 Brutstätte des frankophonen Unheils AOSOTH. Das böse Pendant zur äußerlichen Schönheit aus Stein und Glas. Nein, AOSOTH lassen sich von so etwas nicht weich klopfen und liefern bitter-bösen Black Metal á la GORGOROTH, mit einem kleinen Spritzer französischer Verspieltheit ab. Mit "Ashes Of Angels" liefert uns das Duo ihr zweites Full-Length und in der Tat, hier wird alles zu Asche zermahlen, für Schutt ist danach kein Platz mehr.”

— Metal news de

“‘Ashes Of Angels’ is het tweede album van de Franse black metalband Aosoth. Dit is een erg haatdragend en simpelweg misantropisch album met veel agressie. Het geluid is gruizig, onverdraagzaam maar niet ondraaglijk en vestigt de stemming effectief samen met de nare dissonante riffs en melodieën. De muziek is agressief en overtuigend uitgevoerd. ‘Ashes Of Angels’ kan omschreven worden als een gevarieerde versie van ‘Blood Libels’ van Antaeus. Iets wat nauwelijks verrassend te noemen is aangezien beide bands in de persoon MkM hun zanger delen. Het album bevat zelfs een Antaeus-cover ‘Inner War’. Aosoth heeft een zeer overtuigende en oprechte rauwe black metalplaat gemaakt die de meeste liefhebbers van de Franse scene wel zullen waarderen.”

— Roel de Haan: , Lords of metal

“For true Black Metal look no further. Aosoth have created one of the most oppressive records I have ever listened to, pure aural hell. There is no melancholy, nothing dreamy and no vitality, this album will leave you exhausted, a dark masterpiece of the worst kind. rest of the review on the link”
