Risen from the petrichore-infused underground levels of the Sacred Belt, this Greek-born trio ascends to the Cosmic Beehive and takes a long, winding journey through the less traveled, stellar fields of doom.

»Bastard Sword I« was recorded in a tiny basement over the period of 10 months. The initial demos with all instruments recorded by Achilles were used as the basis. Akis and Odysseas joined just in time to contribute to it, making the album finally sound like a real album.

Recorded, mixed and produced by Achilles Charmpilas at Sacred Belt Studios.
Mastered by Kostas Ekelon at The Cave.
Cover art by Valbona Canaku.
Photography by Isidora Charmpila.

Bastard Sword is:
Achilles Charmpilas – Vocals / Guitars / Synths / Engineering
Akis Kapranos – Drums / Backing Vocals
Odysseas Tziritas – Bass
