Delight yourself with this unmissable release!” 9,0. Rock Underground Magazine“It would be able to be said that we have here an Avantgard Metal with references Doom/Folk/Ambient/Prog/Epic, more or less in the line in that acts the big Summoning. The difference is that, in Rising Heresy, the (strong) baroque inclinations remit us to the Ancient Egypt. More than inclinations, goes. The old Egyptian culture consists, in fact, in the nucleus of all the thematic inspiration and full spring of the present exotic elements in the sound of the Amarna Sky - fact that generates several deliciously unusual passages. A big revelation of the Brazilian setting! 9,0 Novo Metal Magazine"...

The group made use of precious collaborations to raise the technical rate of the disk. And a matter of Erol Unala that you will remember in the Celtic Frost and in the Apollyon Sun. Its the solo of the title track. Considered the references to the culture and to the egyptian story did not be able then be lacking Karl Sanders of Nile that illuminates with its scornful competitive ardor 'Beyond The Horizon'. Ignorance is a dark cloud that hides the sun”. Dagheisha – Italy“Mattias Norén having created the artwork of this nicely produced debut means: no worries here.

Amarna Sky

is a Brazilian project created by the drummer, vocalist and songwriter Deni G. Pierroni (aka Deni Deathnoise), ex-Deimos (heavy/power metal) and ex-Deep Sorrow (traditional doom metal). The musician invited by Deni to play in the project was Aldo D'Isep, guitarist, bassist and producer. The Amarna Sky proposal is to play heavy and intense music, no fear to experiment new elements and no need to be restricted to labels. You can listen in their music a lot of doom and industrial influences, as well touches of traditional and progressive metal, further the mystical spirit from the Middle Eastern, with intricate orchestrations, resulting in a kind of Monumental and Exotic Metal. The Ancient Egypt is the main theme of the band, since the project´s name was inspired by an ancient city currently known as Tell-El-Amarna, ancient Akhetaten (Horizon of the Aten), built on a virgin site of the east bank of the Nile, in Upper Egypt, 44 miles north of modern Asyut in al-Minya muhafazah or approximately 170 miles to the south of modern Cairo. The debut Amarna Sky album, "Rising Heresy", with cover artwork by the renowned Swedish artist Mattias Norén, was released through Anubis Music and contains two very special guests: they are Erol Unala (ex-Celtic Frost and Apollyon Sun founder) and Karl Sanders (Nile´s mastermind).
