Dead Congregation Greece Band photos and their debut LP from 2014, "Graves of the Archangels"

Since initially forming in 2004 in Athens, Greece, Dead Congregation had only released one EP prior to the monster debut. They are said to have the main focus of their music on atmosphere, typically utilizing tremolo riffs with touches of Immolation and Morbid Angel.

This album has many highs, but not many lows.

Easily one of the better new-school osdm acts.

141. The Dreaming I - Akhlys (Black Metal, 2015)

Art by David S. Herrerías

"Akhlys is a somewhat ambiguous figure in Greek mythology as there was not much written about her that still exists. She was said to be the personification of the “death mist”, the clouding over of the eyes upon death, and in turn personified death, misery, despair, and so on. She was also said to have been an original personification of primordial darkness/night that existed before chaos." - Naas Alcameth (Vocalist) for Debemur-Morti

Tuesday, April 16: Locust Leaves, "Light (Fos)"

Locust Leaves tried a bit of everything on “Light (Fos)”, as the Greek prog/death act started off on a slightly more traditional metal note before the melodic singing gave way to death croaking.  The music followed suit, blending stoner and doom with prog, thrash and death.  It was a lot to take in, especially over the course of 8 minutes, and Locust Leaves didn’t always seem to have a firm grasp on what they were aiming to accomplish, but there was enough quality in the overall execution to make many of the individual bits a compelling listen.

Rotting Christ Greece Older photos of the band and their second LP "Non Serviam"

A pillar in the Greek black metal scene at the time, Rotting Christ put out a lengthy string of high quality throughout the mid 90s, putting extremely catchy melodies into each and every song they wrote.

They should not be counted out for their lack of brutality.

Song inspirations

// So recently I’ve been listening to Kawir’s “Medea” from the album “Adrasteia”, which is a concept album about the greek personification of female revenge (Adrasteia being one of the facets of Nemesis.)

The track in question tells Euripide’s version of Medea’s tale. An english translation from the original modern greek by Dr. Ioulia Kolovou is below.

Link to the song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNwd6aLHutY

So thanks to this song, a plotbunny has been hopping inside my head lately. I have been wondering how I could adapt this song to Akhenaten’s backstory. Now, it would be quite metaphorical thanks to her being a 40k OC. Dunno yet if this lore is temporary, but here it is. I am open to suggestions on how to improve it.

Analysis is under the cut for lenght and triggering content; ie. child murder and suicide-by-proxy.

“Medea”

Medea, the daughter of Aietes, who cut up Apsyrtos And scattered his parts in the Black Sea Medea the witch, Medea, fratricide, poisoner. Medea abominable, Medea sorceress, Medea the enchantress, Medea of the black soul. The daughter of Hecate, in a dank cave In a distant land was joined in matrimony to the conceited Jason In Corinth she was crowned queen with a crown of blood. She gave Glauce gifts of death; she wiped out Mermeros and Pheres She who gifted them life, grants death as her final gift She cuts out their lives with a blood-dripping hand, tainting the fruit of her womb. Justice does not dwell in the eyes of mortals without you knowing what they are hiding in their hearts. You hate them at first sight even if they haven’t done you any wrong. Monstrous Medea, Medea the witch, Medea the enchantress, Medea of the black soul, Medea Murderess.

Medea, the daughter of Aietes, who cut up Apsyrtos And scattered his parts in the Black Sea Medea the witch, Medea, fratricide, poisoner. Medea abominable, Medea sorceress, Medea the enchantress, Medea of the black soul.

Akhenaten was the daughter of a king of Gaznir. After being cast out by her family for being a psyker, she was rescued by the XVth legion when they brought the world under compliance. The then-child had no qualms with throwing her loyalty to her old family and throwing her lot with the Thousand Sons, who would become her new family. Years down the line, Gaznir rises in rebellion agaisnt the Imperium, with her old birth-siblings being among the leaders. The Imperium, who doesn’t know about Akhenaten’s blood ties to them, sends the Thousand Sons to put down the rebellion. And once Akhenaten arrives to the planet she realizes her relatives are behind it. Yet she has no qualms about following Magnus’ orders to destroy the city in which they were, thus leading to their deaths.

The thousand sons were well known for their use of psychic powers/magic, which earned them the distrust of many.

In the song, the poisoner line refers to how Medea poisoned Glauce, who was the woman with whom Jason cheated on her. Considering how Magnus and the Thousand Sons threw their lot with Lorgar/ the Word Bearers and Horus / the Sons of Horus despite them being the ones responsible for the destruction of Prospero and the enslavement of its civilian population for turning them into rogue psykers during the Horus Heresy, they would symbolize Glauce.

If memory doesn’t fail me, they joined the traitor’s side out of desperation for they wished to find all of Magnus’ soul fragments. My knowledge of 30k lore is patchy, so I don’t know how far they were in the search before they said “fuck it we all”. As a result, I am unsure if Akhenaten ever knew of the reasons for the deal. But even if she knew, she would still find it unforgivable due to how the Legion protected and nurtured Prospero’s population. Considering chances are the Word Bearers and the Sons of Horus mistreated their rogue psykers, Akhenaten would interpret the legion’s actions as an approval of it.

I do know Akhenaten dropped the legion faster than a hot potato after she witnessed Ahriman sacrificing Hathor to summon a Lord of Change, so if she witnessed the rogue psyker’s abuse chances are it was after she left.

The reason why she abandoned the legion was because Hathor and Ahzek were her adoptive parents. And if Ahriman was capable of doing that to Hathor, then what would he do to her?

But perhaps a better reason would be their actions during the Siege of Terra. Conjuring daemons and using black magic to terrorize the planet. After all, Akhenaten fought for the Imperium, thus making her be in the receiving end of that.

Or maybe she turned agaisnt them because of all of the above.

EDIT: Damn, can’t believe I forgot about the First and Second Rubrics of Ahriman. And how thanks to the Second one, survivors from the First became randomly rubricc’ed. Yet another reason for her hate and anger towards the XVth.

To make matters worse, after learning of the first rubric she fell into a deep depression which led to her not getting out of bed for three months. And then she pulled a suicide by proxy via fighting an old thousand sons love who got chaos-spawned thanks to flesh change from a magical mishap. She survived the fight, but faced dire consecuences because of throwing magical precautions to the wind.

Her feelings towards Horemheb were mixed. On one side he was her first love, but after falling to Tzeentch he tried to swindle her.

-----

And as a revenge for the capture and enslavement of the prosperine, the corruption of half of the legions, the burning of Prospero, the Betrayal at Calth, various atrocities and the death of Sanguinius, Akhenaten under false pretenses gives poisoned gifts to members of the XVIth and XVIIth legions, resulting in their deaths.

The daughter of Hecate, in a dank cave In a distant land was joined in matrimony to the conceited Jason In Corinth she was crowned queen with a crown of blood. She gave Glauce gifts of death; she wiped out Mermeros and Pheres She who gifted them life, grants death as her final gift She cuts out their lives with a blood-dripping hand, tainting the fruit of her womb.

The first and second lines would refer to how she became Magnus’ gene-child once she got implanted with the XVth’s geneseed. Magnus’ main trait was his arrogance, which was one of the factors which led to the legion’s fall.

The “crowned queen with a crown of blood” line would be about how many years after the Great Scouring she killed a Son of Horus and took over his warband (but that’s a long story.)

We already know who Glauce is, but who would be Mermeros and Pheres? Thousand Sons who were created using Akhenaten’s geneseed.

(Considering Akhenaten belonged to the Order of the Jackal, and they were the ones in charge of selecting, transforming and raising the aspirants and neophytes into astartes, chances are Mermeros and Pheres were astartes in whose creation she was involved. Because they were made using her geneseed and she raised them, she considered herself their mother.

And they were lost in the warp during the Horus Heresy, being spat out many years later.)

Justice does not dwell in the eyes of mortals without you knowing what they are hiding in their hearts. You hate them at first sight even if they haven’t done you any wrong.

Akhenaten was beautiful, yet hid a lot of hate and anger in her heart. And she took it out on innocent people.

Monstrous Medea, Medea the witch, Medea the enchantress, Medea of the black soul, Medea Murderess.

Thanks to the crimes she commited, the people would call her Queen Abomination.

153. Pentecost III - Anathema (Death/Doom Metal, 1995 - EP)

Art by Sir Frederic Leighton: "Perseus and Andromeda", 1891

"In Greek mythology, the kingdom of Ethiopia was ruled by the beautiful but vain queen, Cassiopeia, who claimed that her beauty was superior to that of the sea nymphs. When the nymphs, who were the daughters of Poseidon, became aware of her claims, they protested to their father. Poseidon retaliated by calling up a sea monster called Cetus to patrol and wreak havoc along the coastline of Ethiopia, placing Cassiope's kingdom at risk. Queen Cassiopeia, together with her husband Cepheus, decided to sacrifice their daughter, Princess Andromeda, to the monster. -Perseus, who had just fought and defeated Medusa, was travelling back home on his winged horse, Pegasus. He rescued Andromeda by killing the creature."
