EIBON The Garden of Theophrastus CD

Step back into the golden era of nineties underground extreme music with The Garden of Theophrastus, the cult classic masterpiece from Singaporean black metal pioneers Eibon, beautifully reissued on CD in 2022 by Rude Awakening Records. Originally unleashed in 1995, this legendary release delivers a dark, ritualistic atmosphere across fifteen essential tracks. The ominous journey begins with the instrumental I Eisodos, setting the stage for the raw, unholy energy of Noctium Phantasmata, Il nerazza di bestimiare, and the epic, freezing atmospheres of Ancients Flights of Winter Nebula and the monumental title track, The Garden of Theophrastus. The sonic blasphemy continues unabated with In the Streams of Undaunted Vile Desires and The Unholy Ground of Darkened Evil, before concluding the main chapter with the brief instrumental Anachorisi. Elevating this reissue to ultimate collector status, the disc also includes raw demo versions of Rites of Profanity, The Unholy Ground of Darkened Evil, and Bestial Desecration Through Holy Prayers, alongside stellar bonus cuts Ineffable Prodigious Odyssey, Of Grief and Suffering, Wings of Nightmare, and Blind Black Obsession. This comprehensive CD reissue is an absolute milestone of Asian black metal history, making it a mandatory treasure for any serious collector of classic, obscure underground extremity.
