Die griechische Band Aetherian mit ihrem 2. Album "At Storm's Edge".
Das zweite Full Length der Band aus Athen heiÃ?t "At Storm's Edge" und wurde in den
Devasoundz-Studios aufgenommen und von Fotis Benardo (Nightfall, ex- Septic Flesh)
produziert. AETHERIAN begnügen sich nicht mit einer Zuschauerrolle am Rande, sondern
drängen in jeder Hinsicht nach vorne ins Zentrum und geben Vollgas. Melo-Death-Fans
aufgepasst - lasst euch nicht wieder überrumpeln! In Melo-Death-Kreisen gilt das Ende 2017
erschienene Debütalbum von AETHERIAN als �berraschungserfolg. Einerseits hat "The Untamed
Wilderness" für Aufmerksamkeit gesorgt, weil kaum jemand die Griechen auf dem Radar hatte.
Andererseits hat das seit 2013 aktive Quintett aus Athen mit einem souveränen Debüt überzeugt,
das nordischen Szenegrö�en wie INSOMNIUM, DARK TRANQUILLITY und OMNIUM
GATHERUM in nichts nachsteht. -
4-panel Digipak with 12-page booklet.
