Phaëthon was spawned during the great plague of 2020.
The resultant „Sacrifice Doth Call” five-song mini-album is a spirited salvo to the spirit of classic, timeless metal. Appropriate tribute is paid to the likes of Manilla Road, Bathory and Cirith Ungol, as well as NWOBHM legends Pagan Altar, Satan and Judas Priest. However, Phaëthon’s music is raw, uncompromising, ultimately firmly in touch with metal’s tried-and-true formula of good riffs and killer vocals almost always equal great songs. The name Phaëthon was chosen as it wonderfully represents the lyrical matter found on „Sacrifice Doth Call”. As Vrath tells it, the tale of Phaëthon is that of a bastard son of a mere mortal and Helios, the Sun God. Helios promises to grant Phaëthon one wish, which turns out to be for the brat, in his hubris, to take reins of the sun chariot. The whole shebang ends with the sun nearly destroying the Earth and Zeus having to interfere with a thunderbolt. It is this interaction between men and the gods that the lyrics explore.
The „Sacrifice Doth Call” album title takes a line from Shakespeare, “doth,” ultimately translating as “sacrifice calls.” The title relates to how mankind is welcoming victims and suspects to the acts gods — do we, perhaps, protest too much when a young man ends up killing millions out of youthful folly? In mythology, the Phatheon character is applauded for his bravery even in the wake of the countless loss of life. But, humanity is ultimately a pawn in the games that the gods play. Vrath echoes the words of Feuerbach: “God did not, as the Bible says, make man in His own image; on the contrary, man-made God in his own image.” Currently assembling a full lineup in the U.K., it is a simple matter of time before Phaëthon unleashes their brand of old-school metal with an epic persuasion upon unsuspecting audiences. For now, Sacrifice Doth Call is a mere taste of what’s to come…
