Arkhanoth is a solo tribal / ritual ambient project from Coyoacán, Mexico, founded by Lord Arkhanoth. His style is a mix of dark ambient, Pre-Hispanic music and symphonic melodies that take the listener to an era of Aztec gods, sacred battles and forgotten knowledge. This dark ritual begins in 1999 with the name of Tierra de sombras (Shadow Lands) but later is changed to Arcanoth and some years later to its actual name Arkhanoth. In 2002 Lord Arkhanoth pays tribute to genius writer "J.R.R Tolkien" releasing the already sold out Ep "Sauron's Return", a musical celebration for its middle earth legacy. In September of 2007 "Dark Prehispania", a work based on the Aztec mythos, their magic and mysteries, is released as its first full length album. The years 2008 and 2009 are dedicated to music collaborations and composition work for two animated short films called “El Aguila y La Serpiente y Celulas Madre” both post-apocalyptic themed, with an Aztec renascence fill and Mexico city as a background. By 2010 Arkhanoth participates with other three bands ( Whispers of Ghosts, Teomorphosys and X-17 ) in the first Mexican ambient music compilation called "Tonalpohualli 13" with 4 tracks (1 new, 1 unreleased and 2 from its earlier demo works). By the end of 2010 Lord Arkhanoth starts rehearsing and working with ex members of "Evil Poetry" and "Ag Serpent", first Recording, and then later participating in the creative process to conform a new Project called "Morphosys13", which is right now, in the middle stage of production and recording with some lineup changes already done.
