Label: Sacred Bones

Këkht Aräkh is the Ukrainian project founded in 2018 by Dmitry Marchenko. 
For the sound design of the album, Dmitry was inspired by The Stooges' Raw Power to deliver a softer sounding album, decisively less "metal". Traditional black metal song structures still persist in songs like "Night Descends" and "In The Garden". However, their rawness and fast tempos is quickly cut through by dark ambient passages in "Amor" and "Intro" and softly played desolate ballads like "Nocturne" and "Lily".  

The character of Pale Swordsman is portrayed on the striking album cover art - a figure sitting aloof with a sword and a rose in each hand - and clearly symbolises the romantic juxtaposition of belligerence and fragile beauty that permeates the album’s sound and atmosphere. Pale Swordsman delivers a foreboding yet bittersweet melancholy through poetic lyrics, soft interludes, raw and distorted guitars, eerie drums, and harsh vocals - a fragile yet potent mix that successfully amplifies the ambience.
