Ancestral Wisdom

The album contains 10 tracks as is customary in the tradition of the raw old-fashioned Greek Pagan Black Metal that Pythagorean Circle has been expressing for over five years, 9 of which are in the well-known form of pure, uncompromising purebred and uncompromising by fashions, political correctness and party guidelines and as an epilogue the now classic trademark of my life’s musical work, Pythagorean Circle Raw Hellenic Pagan Black Metal, an orchestral piece with Cretan lute.

The production of the album continues where the third full-length album of Pythagorean Circle – Old Heathen Ways left off with the guitars sounding even sharper to the point of making the acoustic drums of the uninitiated bleed! We said that Black Metal is not for everyone!

The drums, which the co-producer has adapted, perfectly match the wild melodic lines of the primal black metal riffs of Pythagorean Circle, giving the appropriate pulse that, combined with the merciless tremolo picking, the mystical repeated chords and the harps, guide the listener on the steep paths of the mysterious Search for Ancestral Wisdom.

The album begins with a reference to the tragedy “Hippolytus” by Euripides and the horrible end of the hero, a result of exceeding the meter. Continuing, the second song is dedicated to the Tyrant of Syracuse, Dionysius the Elder, who dedicated his life fighting the Carthaginians who had been plotting for years the beautiful island of Sicily in Magna Graecia, putting an iron fist on their hostile intentions against the Greeks. The third track of the album is also the one that gave the name Ancestral Wisdom to the album and is none other than The Quest for Ancestral Wisdom, in which I refer to the ancient initiatory rituals that were held on the island of the gods, the “mother” Crete, which had to do with the eternal cycle of life and death in honor of the Great Mother, the bare-breasted goddess of

snakes and the Cretan Zeus who dies and is resurrected, completing the rituals as the ultimate initiation, the Bull-Slaying.

These orgiastic ceremonies had as their natural continuation the Eleusinian Mysteries in honor of Demeter and Kore. With the fourth track The Ionian Revolt we are transported 10 years before the battle of Marathon, to the Ionian Revolt that was also used as an excuse by the Persian great king to start the Persian Wars. In the fifth track The Natural Order will be Restored I refer to the fact that the clique of globalists who are ravaging our planet by disrupting the Natural Order, the time will come to pay for their crimes, through the awakening of genuine people. In the sixth track The Fall of the Iron Generation, although there is the bitter realization of the end of our own generation of the iron race, hope is given that the human race will not be completely lost. The seventh track To Ares of Justice an War is dedicated to the god of those who fight in Righteousness, Ares of Justice and War. Slowly moving towards the end of the album, the eighth track Blessed by the Huntress is dedicated to the Goddess of the Forests, the golden-haired Artemis with the silver bow. The last ninth song is the preparation of all the indigenous peoples of Gaia and a call to war against the black priesthood of Erebus and the wealthy chosen ones, usurpers of existence, servants of Jehovah the false god of the desert and enemy of all the nations of humanity.

The New Age of Light and the Victory of Paganism against submission and all kinds of chains of the foul and unholy monotheism is imminent. Arriving hopefully at the last tenth track of the album Zeus the Savior Victory, which is an orchestral slow song with Cretan Lute which is also the epilogue of the fourth complete album of Pythagorean Circle – Ancestral Wisdom. I thank my talented friend and collaborator Acheron for another amazing cover intertwined with the traditional principles of Pythagorean Circle, continues where the 2023 self-titled debut leaves off. The songs, as usual and in accordance with the tradition of Pythagorean Circle, have been placed on the album based on the exact chronological order in which they were composed, so that my personal narrative continues, always guided by the never-ending search for ancestral wisdom.

The album contains 10 tracks, 9 in the familiar style of old-fashioned Black Metal and the now “classic” acoustic outro – farewell played the Cretan lute.
