Out Now! Black Metal Duo SITH’ARI Unleashes Debut EP “Before The Dawn” On Limited Edition CD From Ethanol Studio

L-R – Pathos – Drums, Lord Kafir – Guitars, Bass, Vocals

Sith’ari, the Iowa, USA, black metal side project for both Lord Kafir of Nedakh and Pathos of Symphony of Heaven and Satan Destroyer unleashes their debut EP” Before The Dawn”, on limted edition CD, available now as of May 30th, 2025 via their indie label Ethanol Studio to follow its digital release on April 23rd.

“From beginning to end, this EP will leave you wanting more. It’s a truly fantastic record that caters to all fans of black metal who want something melodic, fast, and relentless. If you wish your black metal were a bit darker, add a dash of Gorgoroth with just a dash of Immortal; that describes the sounds. The themes are much more in touch with fans of later-day Bathory and Immortal.” – Sith’ari

Melancholic but uplifting, fast, and atmospheric, the EP is a more riff-oriented sound usually associated with most black metal. Lord Kafir writes the riffs on guitar and a drum machine then sends them to Pathos to get his interpretation to create a record that’s a mish-mash of influences from different readings from history books, experiencing harsh winters in Iowa and Indiana and fantasy stories, games and movies.

Lord Kafir had other music in him that wasn’t just typical death metal and Pathos was brought in because he wanted to play in a specific black metal band that didn’t deny him from his religious point of view.

Recommended for fans of Gorgoroth, Immortal, and Bathory, “Before The Dawn” is now streaming on CD and digitally at the following links:

“Overall, this was a solid album. Although it was relatively short, many of the aggressive passages were also coupled with somber melodies, creating an unforgettable listening experience.” – Metal Temple​
