Wow! I can't say
anything but wow when hearing this debut album from the Polish death metal
band April Ethereal who used to go under the name Leon until the year 2000
when they decided to change to the current one. They are actually the first
Polish band who have impressed me this much and I have to say that they even
outdo the mighty Vader in my eyes (or in my ears would perhaps be more
suitable since I prefer girls...). The music of April Ethereal is basically
keyboard enhanced and very atmospheric death metal with brutal vocals but
still also with a feeling of beauty that is hard to describe. Progressive dark
metal is their own label on the music but I would prefer to call it
atmospheric death metal. Nocturnus were perhaps the first death metal band who
successfully incorporated keyboards in their music but during the 90's there
have been a great number of acts who have taken advantage of the new
technology. I haven't still heard anything like what April Ethereal have done
here though. Intense, brutal, beautiful are the only things I have to say
about this release which is definitely one of the best debut albums of last
year. Polish death metal has now been given a new face and I urge you all to
check this new band out.
