65/100
Okay so this is a metal album by a band who has structure/organized musicianship as their main strength. Normally it's a technically otherworldly guitar-player, or a smashing drummer or an exceptionally intense vocalist that makes a good metal record for me but here, it's the way they've planned the songs. Satuya, good example of that. Starting with a sombre guitar mood, then very solidly transfer into the big epic-playing, with almost no pauses for 7 minutes and then ending with a quiet distorting. Where it all gets more lackluster is that the song gets predictable and too typical, the vocalist is actually straight but there's something emotionally that he lacks, and it doesn't contain replay value since it's too long.
Well, Etemen Ænka continues in that vein (though with most of them as succes). Before I mention the absolute best of the bunch, lemme just shame them for making those super mundane electronic song-interludes Weighing of The Heart and Adræden (especially), those songs killed a lot of the momentum and monumental quality the album went for.
Still, the three best tunes are worth hearing again and again. While we're talking about songs that aren't metal, the left turn Asphodel is absolutely needed here. Wow this song. Beautiful female voice, amazing subtle "drone", definitely gentle for the album's direction. In that field, Enuma Elis is a great thriving song (with well done pop punk inspired sections), that mixing-wise aims a lo-fi and it goes on solidly. But Etemen Ænka's most ambitious song comes in Mleccha, an 8 minute piece that has the best build up of (maaybe) all 2021 metal songs, a great structure that shines and a grand chorus near the end - and for one time's sake, some actual growling that aren't super cringe, but really fit the density.
