Aeturnus
From Blackest Darkness
Reviewed by Brian Vincent McGovern
Are you ready for a very hard, very fast hardcore experience reminiscent of Mortification, Believer, and Living Sacrifice? Yeah? Then hear this. The vocals attack the listener with a relentless amalgamation of frenzied articulation. Imagine what violence and death sound like. Now scream at them in anger because they're trying to use power over you that they just don't have.
The intro track, "Death March," is a minute long, almost swingy-sounding tune, which made me feel like skipping merrily through a cemetery. The only thing I didn't like was that which I didn't fully understand: The lyrics to "Carnage" proclaim, "I kill to live, I live to kill." What's that all about?
