Aeons of Hate – Aeons of Hate (2015)

cover

Hailing from Greece, today we have old-school Death/Thrash Metal outfit Aeons fo Hate and their self-titled debut release. Featuring over 30 minutes of music, this album brings back some memories of the late 90’s with incisive riffs perfect for headbanging while chugging beer. If you like the riffing capabilities of bands like Sodom, Kreator, Death Angel and Morbid Angel, this this one interesting release for you.

Opening with the Slayer-esque “Sands of Deception”, the band makes quite a strong impression with pummeling guitars and harsh vocals. The riffing is quite pleasant as it weaves between Thrash influences and old-school Death/Thrash influences from the Sepultura early days. It is quite interesting to note that as track like “Solemn” and “Aeons of Hate” roll around, the music tempo is kept relatively ‘slow’ allowing the riffs to fully sink in and our heads to start bobbing from beginning to end.

Rolling with the punches, the listener will find the band’s consistency in tracks like “Collapse”, “Means to an End”, and “Plague of Iron” quite enjoyable as there are no weird surprises of crazy changes. While this might also be the band’s weakest point, it does provide homage to the old-school music the band is extremely influenced by. The harsh vocals are quite fitting for the music, as the border between normal Thrash screams and the more aggressive Death/Black Metal growls/shrieks.

Saving the most vicious songs to the end, “Dark Words” and “Pale Death” gave us more aggression, leaving the door open for the band to evolve in this direction on future releases. Overall, Aeons of Hate is a band that sticks to their guns and delivers a very solid and incisive release. The music while not highly innovative, it does pay its respects to old-school Death/Thrash Metal with perfect execution and solid songwriting. Genre puritans will surely love this album, so we can definitely recommend it to you if you like any of the band’s we have mentioned in this review.
