AGATHODAIMON – The Seven

After nearly a decade of silence, German dark metal veterans AGATHODAIMON returned in 2022 with their seventh studio album, The Seven. Joining the band in 2020 under the stage name Nakhateth, RISTRIDI stepped in as a principal architect of this long-awaited revival.

As the primary guitarist and songwriter, RISTRIDI was responsible for writing the majority of the album’s material. His vision was instrumental in blending the band’s Dark Metal Roots with a modern Symphonic Black Metal Sound. From the aggressive, razor-sharp riffs of the opener “La Haine” to the atmospheric, groove-heavy melodies of “Wolf Within,” his compositions define the record’s multifaceted soundscape.
