Death Island – Aeons Of Carnage Review

Immediately, the listener presses the play button, where one is welcomed to the opening track, Comatose Incisions, which welcomes the listener with a rough-spoken word incantation -following suit with an artistry of feasting, brutal and complex attack of instrumentation and vocals.

Following suit with the second track, Seko! And the remaining four pieces…

Death Island is a band that nails the listener’s ears to their complex and unique sound and atmosphere before pulling them into fiery pits of hell by providing an album that’s written and penned like a novel (title and concept are not based on the battle at all), providing six short tales of Satanism, horror stories, mental illness, and gore to the listener’s ears.

As one continues their feasting and hellish concoction journey, one will find that Death Island doesn’t give you the straightforward sound/atmosphere of death/black -but a dark-horrifying and torturous journey of a musical spectrum that’s -complex -yet brutal and dark -but melodic and theatrical.

As one will find and encounter, each track is different, capturing various moments and expressions (arrangement/aspect with each piece) with each piece, such as multiple moods, tempos, sounds, and atmospheres, which are provided by vocal and instrumental artistry of complex rhythms/dark melodic passages and shredding attack of the guitar, various drum strikes and hard-hitting beats, and vocals consisting of deep growls and snarls/shrieks.

Other different (complex/arrangements and amalgamation) moments within the music are also captured, which includes the icy-cold symphonic/orchestral (with a tint of their vocal work thrown in) aspect of Dimmu Borgir, the speed-driven, heaviness and aggression of brutal death, the frigid Norwegian atmosphere and the forests of the north black metal and the blackened melodic death metal of Dissection.

Aeons Of Carnage is a unique piece of art that captures the heart and soul of extreme metal, black metal, brutal death, and melodic death metal, even throwing in touches of modern and old-school influences in their concoction —which is all delivered and provided by excellent devilmanship, along with six equally solid, strongly composing songs/music and lyrics includes Latvian words/phrases like Tad Seko Man, audio sound clips, etc

Aeons Of Carnage is topped off with solid production and sound quality (with information received); the album was re-recorded on basement tapes in a proper studio, resulting in a fantastic atmosphere of Aeon quality.

Suppose you like music feasted with extreme, complex, brutal, and pure headbangers – this is for you and a must to listen to.
