Aeternus are a band from Norway that started out as a more pagan orientated black/dark metal band but evolved more into a black/death metal band with this release and this is a review of their 2001 album "Ascension Of Terror" which was released by Hammerheart Records.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a great amount of blast beats being thrown in at times, while the bass playing has a very dark tone which is mixed down low in the mix and seems to follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast riffing that combines influences from black, dark, doom and death metal to create a sound of their own with some melodies being thrown in at times, while the lead guitars are very dark and melodic guitar solos and leads, as for the acoustic guitars when they are utilized they bring a very dark and medieval pagan feel to the music.
Vocals are all deep blackened death metal growls with some occasional high pitched screams, while the lyrics cover darkness, hatred and mythology, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful, heavy and professional sound to it.
In my opinion this was a great album from Aeternus which showed them expanding on their blackened death metal sound and if you are a fan of this band, you probably already own this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Possessed By The Serpent Vengeance" "The Essence Of The Elder" "Denial Of Salvation" and "The Liar Of Anubus". RECOMMENDED BUY
