Anubis is the unexpected collaboration between the two french artists behind Balrog and ElixiR.

The first album "Cradle Of Civilization" offers to the listener a journey through a hot territory, and let him wander between pyramids and sand deserts.

Widely inspired by the Egyptian gods and culture, the project is bringing something new and fresh to the Dungeon Synth scene
With a lot of innovative percutions, the whole album is offering a mixture of atmospheric and gloomy soundscapes, propped by folk instruments and catchy melodies.

The track "God of the Nile" is a Derek & Brandon Fiechter tribute.

REVIEWS :

"Grâce à une maîtrise des percussions très intéressante et tout un panel de sonorités orientales prenantes comme il se doit, Anubis n’a aucun mal à vous attraper par le col pour vous offrir un périple des plus dépaysants. Cradle of Civilization agit comme une bouffée d’air frais au sein d’un genre qui a souvent peine à se réinventer, et le mérite de nos deux musiciens n’en est que plus important."

"It has the right amount of melody and harmony, a good blend of harmonic notes with ethnic sounds (could be a touch better), and an incredibly ethereal yet clear production (something to which I cannot overstate the importance of). Cradle of Civilization is a triumphant achievement and the men behind the project should be proud of their efforts. Listen and tell me I’m wrong."

"Εδώ βέβαια δεν έχουμε να κάνουμε με τόσο ζοφερό και σκοτεινό Ambient, αλλά και το “Cradle Of Civilization” έχει σημεία με βαριές ατμόσφαιρες τυλιγμένες με μυστήριο και κουλτούρα, όλα εμπνευσμένα από τον Αιγυπτιακό πολιτισμό.
Κάτι “νέο” και συνάμα “αρχαίο” στη σκηνή του Dungeon Synth."
