It's always interesting to hear what old bands come up with these days. Often they just release the same album over and over (Asphyx, Incantation), or they actually stretch their creative muscle and come up with something really worth listening to. Aeternus have never been strangers to virtuosity, but they've never displayed it so well before now (and without being overbearing). And The Seventh His Soul Detesteth reminds me of a rawer, darker version of Unleashed's Odalheim or a more accessible version Diskord's Dystopics. Aeternus have always seemed unsure of their direction, but I do hope that they settle on the path that they've taken here.
Hey Kawana!
