Terminus Episode 148 - Anahata, Syndexioi, Uppstigning

After an impromptu spring break (caused by technical issues, sorry guys), Terminus is back with an alumni-focused episode for the dedicated fans. After a mini-review by TBMG on noble dungeon synth barbarian Uppstigning, we revisit two bands near and dear to the show's cold, black heart. First: the return of Anahata, whose burly, powerlifting heavy/power metal has been infused with a tremendous dose of prog and a massively increased structural scope. Next: Syndexioi, who emerge slightly from the caverns with a sound louder, larger, and much more immediate than their first. Listening recommendation for this episode: clench your fist out in front of you at roughly eye level and roar.

0:00:00 - Intro/Uppstigning - Rite of Passage (Independent)

0:18:44 - Anahata - Syncretic Sovereignty (Independent)*

1:12:37 - Interlude - 3 Inches of Blood - “Axes of Evil” fr. Advance and Vanquish (Roadrunner Records, 2004)

2:00:18 - Outro - Elffor - “Infernal Woods” fr. Son of the Shades (Northern Silence Productions, 2008)

*CORRECTION: Anahata's drums were NOT programmed.

**FUN FACT: Uppstigning also contributed the synth intro / outro on the Anahata record. We had no idea!
