This is a review of another recording from France's Eternal Hunt which shows the music going for more of a traditional style of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "An Era Of Shame" which was released by Drowning In Chaos Records.
Spoken word parts start off the album along with some keyboards which also returns on a later track a few seconds later before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style while angry shouts can also be heard at times. The songs also add in a good mixture of both modern and old school influences along with the album also adding in a good balance between slow, mid paced and fast sections.
Growls are also added in certain sections of the recording along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, folk instruments and ritualistic chants can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover mythology, nature, primary instincts, nihilism, the loss of humanity and the fall of modern society.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Eternal Hunt and if you are a f an of traditional black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ancient Gods" "Ritual" and "An Era of Shame". 8 out of 10.
