Black Aeons are a solo project from Germany that plays a melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of his 2024 album "Entering The Shadows" which will be released in November by Silent Watcher Records.
Tragic sounding keyboards start off the album before going into a very fast and melodic direction which also adds in a great amount of blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while the riffing also adds in a lot of death metal elements and the music is heavily rooted in the mid 90's Swedish style.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while tremolo picking can also be heard in some of the faster riffing. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with one song also adding in a brief use of spoken word parts.
and synths can also be heard briefly along with a couple of tracks also adds in a small amount of acoustic guitars and clean playing as well as one song also being an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Death, War, Greek Mythology and Nordic History.
In my opinion Black Aeons are a very great sounding melodic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dawn Of A New Time" "Relentless Fire" "Shadows of A Dying Light" and "We Are The Dead". 8 out of 10.
