JT EXTREME With Galen's time in INFERA BRUO and present day STREET TOMBS, you know the quality tracks, and this 2023 USBM debut delivers on the past and more. The tone is dialed and the loins are ablaze with this impressive 40 mins, do not miss it.

Dave Aftandilian I love how the wide-open spaces, deep silences and mysteries, and infinite blackness of the desert play such a key role in Aridus’s compositions. As I listen to GB’s outstanding, evocative guitar work I see the many serpents of the desert summoned forth, coiling and uncoiling, slithering across the chill sands, tasting the blood on the wind with their forked tongues, dancing madly to hasten humanity’s inevitable demise.

mourner This is just quality black metal. Great ideas and well written songs that unleash bleakness upon us all. The more you listen to it the more it envelops you. Favorite track: Bearer of Silence.

about

The distant howl of coyotes echoes through the desert night. Over a windswept mesa the Serpent Moon rises. This is how Galen Baudhuin (Wolves In The Throne Room, Infera Bruo, Street Tombs and more) envisions the debut album of ARIDUS. In conspiracy with Eisenwald, he takes you on a journey to his majestic and hostile homeland in the American high desert and through the inevitable stages of human existence.

ARIDUS is an outlet for multi-instrumentalist Galen Baudhuin's more overt black metal material. GB handled all instrumentation across the entire album, challenging himself to represent his creative vision unaided. This vision is deeply rooted in the unforgiving nature and beauty of the high desert of the southwestern United States. A sinister sonic landscape that resonates with a somber, dark energy.
