The legion of ASTRIAAL was given life in 1998, beginning with the dawn of the 'Glories of the Nightsky' demo tape, now considered an integral foundation in the ASTRIAAL soundscape. Over the past decade the accumulation of accolades achieved has been numerous with ASTRIAAL being considered one of the leading Black Metal exponents from Australia. Their domestic tour supports have included Mayhem, Arcturus, Opeth, Destroyer 666, Suffocation, Nile, Destruction, Deeds of Flesh, Incantation and Pungent Stench. The bands distinct sound was melded and refined in the foundry of the live arena, achieved through the execution of numerous Australian tours spanning over a decade. After a period of perceived inactivity to those outside the circle, the horns of reprisal are resonating once again...the Visceral Incarnate has been awakened! ASTRIAAL's compositions take the listener on a sonic journey, one resounding in Abyssal theology.

"Also hugely enjoyable, highly original AND psychically useful is the
music of Australian duo The Scrapes, whose fiery epic guitar and
abandoned Mithraic fiddle pieces evoke images of lost Keltic lands
inundated by the oceans, lost Iberian & Armorican sea peoples and
lost times from beyond the beyond." Julian Cope
