Triade III: Nyx

According to the stats Triade III: Nyx was my most played album of 2023 which given how early in the year it came out isn’t a huge surprise but should show how much holding power this album has had on me this year. There are years when something unexpected comes out late in the year and steals the show however as of the time of writing this nothing has even come close. I have enjoyed all parts of their trilogy of Melmoth the Wanderer, but I think they really outdid themselves with the final chapter. The production is a bit warmer and clearer than on Hemera and has lost most of the rawness one could hear in part on on Eos I can only assume this was purposefully done, but it does mean the three albums don’t quite flow as a whole (or rather making each part distinct), again perhaps this is the point, this isn’t even a complaint less an observation. It will be interesting to see where Aara goes now that they’ve completed this project, given their history and how much I’ve enjoyed everything they’ve released I’m fairly certain I’ll be writing about them again.
