lista zespołów Avantgardiste Black Aenaon Phenomenon

This is the debut album from this Greek black metal quintet. They are from the towns of Larisa(134 miles northwest of Athens) and Volos(104 miles north of Athens). Except for tracks 1 and 6(the intro and outro songs), this album is very dynamic and intense.

The songs shred and thrash at a high octane tempo. The guitars and bass playing are very technical and rival bands like Decapitated, Melechesh, and Sadist(Italy) in that regard.The lyrics were written by vocalist Astrous. The vocals have a ugly, mean, and hateful attitude that remind me of the vocals of Phil Anselmo with his band, Superjoint Ritual. But the vocals sound more like Benjamin Killeke of Neaera. The guitars sound outstanding, they are super fast, and highly skilled. The bass playing is excellent and displays some technical moments. The drum playing is also very skilled and fast. The songs are well written and composed. Their influences are obvious and I will point them out.


The first song, Et In Arcadia Ego, is the intro(1:19 minutes). It sounds strange with synthesizers and a symphonic sound, along with vocal choruses. The second song, Perdition,A New Era, has a rhythm that sounds similar to the old Metal Church song, Line Of Death. This song is very explosive and extremely fast. The Virus Code has a technical bass rhythm that sounds like the Decapitated song The First Damned, but it is played at a much faster speed. There are also some catchy interludes in this song that sound similar to Old Man's Child.
And...Chaos Enthroned is an awesome jam. It's also very fast and sounds like recent Old Man's Child. Navel is a very melodic song that sounds similar to the style of Vesania(without symphonic music), but played a faster pace. Extradimensional Wall is the outro(2:39) minutes. It's a strange song that's played at a slower tempo, with a synthesizer and effected with echoes. It sounds similar to Old Man's Child or Vesania.


So why would a metalhead want to buy an album with so many borrowed melodies? Because the technical guitar and bass playing are phenomenal. If they keep this up, they could be extremely popular. Similar bands are Neaera, Absu, and recent Old Man's Child.
