Aetherial, Nameless Horrors Review: This review will evaluate every aspect of the album, from its intricate musical composition to its production. Our analysis will provide valuable insights to help you determine if this album is worth adding to your collection.

The First Three Sins, The Summary

The First Sin, The Strings/Keys: Consists of raw and unsettling fast rotting riffs, with reverb, distortion/feedback, and tremolo pickings (tint melodic/groovy passages buried with the rotten sound of the riffs), outrageously evil-Lyn bass riffs. The Second Sin, The Vocals: Involves hellish death vocals, with evil cold shrieks and screams, additional spoken words. The Third Sin—The Percussions: Delves into the vast world of pounding and blistering drumming and hellish beats.

The Fourth Sin, Overall Discussion

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 it breaks into this transfixing onslaught of dark and bone-crushing death metal – that feels like an express lift straight to hell.

Continuing with the second piece, It’s Only Blood, and the remaining nine songs, that are 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. The lyrics explore the darkest recesses of the soul; exposing what is lurking behind the false reality of everyday life.

The album ends with the last song, Spitting Out Teeth. As the last droplets of music, vanishes in the dark mistiest of the labyrinth, we would like to thank Aetherial for letting us review their new album, Nameless Horrors. We will wrap it up by discussing the final three sins and concluding the review.

The Fifth Sin, The Memorabilia

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).
