Aquilus - Griesus DigiCD
Aquilus started out as an atmospheric metal solo-project by Horace Rosenqvist from Melbourne, Australia, whose works encompass different styles of atmospheric music inspired by classical, folk, and other genres. Being conceived sometime in the early 2000’s, after some experimental demos and an EP “Arbor” in 2007, Aquilus released their debut album "Griseus", created soley by Rosenqvist, on CD through ATMF in 2011. A 2013 vinyl release by Blood Music raised the band into public consciousness, and "Griseus" slowly amassed a following of devoted fans, climbing its way to being voted one of the top albums of the decade on MetalStorm. After being out of print for several years, Northern Silence licensed the album from Blood Music for a long overdue re-release on CD and vinyl to satisfy the ongoing demand, once again increasing due to the recent release of Aquilus' critically acclaimed 3rd album "Bellum II" by Northern Silence.
