Every now and then, an amazing band surfaces from its underground status with a killer album and breaks the boundaries of blissfully technical death metal with easy-to-listen-to commercial appeal. Sons of Aeon although, have come up with a gem. Their self-titled first full length was quite an extrordinare experience for me, with its relentless drumming and its incredible guitar work.

Faceless” was the perfect opener cause it’s the kind of track that convinced me to listen to the rest of the album. What I came about, in the rest of the album, was a track by track demonstration of the band’s insane melodic lines and song-building!

The production is simple, but very effective with the guitars in particular culminating with its thick, deep sound. Despite the vastness and modern production, each song flows like a river. Or let’s put it some other way…It sounds more like a wave crushing to a lighthouse (as the ones on their beautiful cover)! It’s chilling and refreshing!

I was surprised with “The Centre” and its beautiful acoustic intro followed by an atmospheric and beautiful constant crescendo!

Sons of Aeon’s music for some reason sounds and seems to be ready for the top category of the Masters of Metal! All in all, this is a spectacular album. I hope the band gets everything they deserve I recommend this album to all metalheads out there. These guys are some kind of the future looking bright for our music! METAL TO ALL!
