Aetherial – Nameless Horrors Review: A Death Metal band from Australia. The band was formed in 2013. On October 23rd, 2020, the band independently released their debut studio album Nameless Horrors.
Aetherial – Nameless Horrors Review opens and discusses the FIRST SIN: THE STRINGS/KEYS. Which consists of raw and unsettling fast rotting riffage, with reverb, distortion/feedback, and tremolo pickings (tint melodic/groovy passages buried with the rotten sound of the riffs), outrageously evil-Lyn bass riffs.
Let’s talk about the SECOND SIN: THE VOCALS, which involves hellish death vocals, with evil cold shrieks and screams, additional spoken words
Moving on to the THIRD SIN: THE PERCUSSIONS, which delves into the vast world of pounding and blistering drumming and hellish beats.
In our following discussion about the band’s musical work, we will focus on the FOURTH SIN, the overall DISCUSSION of the album. As soon as the listener presses that play button, one is welcome to the horror grimoire of the opening track, INDIFFERENCE TO SUFFERING, which starts with the sound of the wind, clean passages of the guitar, and spoken words, then breaks into this transfixing onslaught of dark and bone-crushing death metal – that feels like an express elevator straight to hell,
Continuing with the second piece IT’S ONLY BLOOD, and the remaining nine songs, that is more than just pure death metal, this is AETHERIAL own breed of hellish death metal – that mixes elements of brutal death, melodic death/groove metal, technical/progressive death metal, and old-school death metal that’s filled with energy and adrenaline of pure fast/brutal music this is 100% bone-crushing and the stench of the dead extreme music.
NAMELESS HORRORS provides the listener with not just brutally extreme music but eight equally reliable, strongly composed (dark/massive) songs that have an excellent energetic vibe and a value of top-notch production, devilmanship, and a relentless deliverance of blending/creating a sound of their own, while the lyrics explore the darkest recesses of the soul; exposing what is lurking behind the false reality of everyday life.
I wanted to share our thoughts and MEMORABILIA on the FIFTH SIN. SHEP‘s vocals; how he makes his vocals changes; brutal, spoken words, somewhat groovy in some sections of the songs – giving each song a life and identity of their own (which are carefully done, picking the right moment within the piece to add these changes).
Let’s discuss the ARTWORK of the SIXTH SIN. Which looks like a front cover of a spellbook or a grimoire (very fitting to the band’s music).
Finally, closing the review with the last sin, the SEVENTH SIN, the DISRELISH. With nothing to disrelish, if not already, why don’t the reader check out other AETHERIAL reviews IT’S ONLY BLOOD and SOULLESS, this concludes the Aetherial – Nameless Horrors Review.
