APHRODITE is a collaboration between three Canadian musicians who each bring a unique background to their debut LP “Lust and War”, making it a thoroughly enthralling piece of old school speed metal with a mythological bent. From track one, the infectiously high-energy “Hades in the Night”, the disc delivers a warm pummeling of analog double kicks and palm-muted shredding as it takes you on a thrashing Odyssey through Greek mythos.
