Emerging from Lohja, Finland, black metal project Synthre has officially released its new concept EP Thus Burns the House of the Sun. Blending ferocious black metal with haunting Middle Eastern influences, the EP continues the band’s ambitious historical saga exploring the rise, fall, and transformation of ancient Assyrian civilization.
Founded in 2024 by Mircea Purdea (Exhalus), Synthre first surfaced in 2025 with the debut EP Heterodoxa, establishing a foundation for a broader conceptual storyline. Each release functions as a chapter tracing the dissolution of Assyrian culture and its evolution into Syriac Christianity.
Thus Burns the House of the Sun centers on the fall of Hatra in 241 CE, weaving documented history with imaginative storytelling. The narrative unfolds from two perspectives: one Assyrian from the city of Assur, and one from al-Nadirah, the Hatrene princess, framing the collapse in the context of religious rebellion, volcanic disasters, and enemy sieges against belief in personified gods.
Musically, Synthre channels black metal intensity while infusing tonal and rhythmic elements inspired by ancient Near Eastern traditions. The result is a sound that feels both epic and relentless, appealing to fans of Melechesh, Sumerian Tombs, and Nile, fusing history, mythology, and extreme metal into a cinematic listening experience.
Thus Burns the House of the Sun is self-released and available now on all major streaming platforms and Bandcamp.
