Aghiatrias is Czech so called \u201cintegrated music\u201d project from Prague of composer, instrumentalist & sound alchemist Vladimír Hirsch and sound-engineer Tom Saivon, started in 1999 as more abstract sprout of their martial-industrial band Skrol, stressing the work with rich arsenal of sound structures.

In autumn 1999, Vladimí dr Hirsch (composition, electronic keyboards, computer) and Tom Saivon (samples, computer) joined their creative efforts in the project AGHIATRIAS, which is a kind of extrapolation of the combination of neo-classicist (Hirsch) and noise (Saivon) tendencies within SKROL. The first live performance in December 1999, introduced a few new tracks from their first album FIELD MASS, an adjusted industrial and power electronics version of Vladimir Hirsch's original track MISSA ARMATA." The album was released non-officially in 2000 by Hirsch's label CatchArrow Recordings. Also for this reason, Field Mass was later modified after many years by Vladimí dr Hirsch into the more cohesive solo work CRYPTOSYNAXIS for audiovisual presentation (2009). Cryptosynaxis translates as "hidden worship" in ancient Greek and as such the structural composition is based on standard liturgical elements. The music clearly demonstrates a highly structured industrial sound combined with classical instrumentation. It expresses a battle that is eventually disrupted by a violent scream convincing enough to end the turmoil and for both sides to take part in holy Mass together. The Mass becomes the moment of realization, gradually eventuating in humility and a sign of peace. The synchronized video montage to the album by Marianna Ostrovskaya (2010) narrates between light and darknes, the holy and the profane.

The second AGHIATRIAS album, EPIDAEMIA VANITATIS, came out as the 1st release on the group's own label, INTEGRATED MUSIC RECORDS, in 2002. Contrary to the preceding album, the general character aims more towards dark ambient - the structure of the material is richer, compositions have a deeper and wider ambience and the emotional perceptions are more immersive, without sparing the original intensity and urgency.

Their third album, REGIONS OF LIMEN, completed in August 2003, is an adjusted version of Hirsch\u00b4s solo project DE REGIONIBUS LIMINIS. This extensive dark ambient album is devoted to subliminal mechanisms of perception and its conception consists in the confrontation between the surreal (artificial ambient) and real (industrialized sound). The seemingly sombre character of the composition is brightened by an irradiation representing the fleeing moments of dawning. The album was released in March 2004 by the Czech label Epidemie Records. The reworked version of the original composition "De Regionibus liminis" with the name UNDERLYING SCAPES became a bonus CD for VladimA dr Hirsch's boxset (Ars Benevola Mater) of solo works THE ASSENT TO PARADOXON in March 2009. An accompanying video montage was created in 2010 by for stage performance to the album.

In 2005, AGHIATRIAS created their final official album ETHOS, which was released early in September 2006 by Epidemie Records. Structurally, it is probably the best representation of their confrontation with contemporary classical, dark ambient, noise and industrial structures. AGHIATRIAS discontinued their activities in 2007 after the non-officially released album RELIQUARY, whose content includes earlier excluded material together with tracks that were released for various compilations (e.g. RAINY NOVEMBER DAY IN WROCLAW).
