Empyrean Blood - Demo MMXVII

Review by Windy City

Empyrean Blood's Demo MMXVII is a brutal and uncompromising release that showcases the band's skill and intensity. From the opening notes of "The Seventh Circle" to the closing strains of "Eternal Night," the album is a non-stop barrage of crushing riffs, thunderous drums, and guttural vocals.

The production is raw and unpolished, but this only adds to the album's appeal, giving it a visceral and gritty edge that perfectly matches the band's sound. The songs are all relatively short, but they pack a punch, with each one delivering a relentless assault that leaves the listener breathless.

Despite the ferocity of the music, there is also a sense of melody and atmosphere that runs throughout the album. This is especially evident on tracks like "From Ashes," which features a haunting keyboard intro that sets the tone for the rest of the song.

Summary by Windy City

Demo MMXVII is an impressive debut from Empyrean Blood, showcasing a band that is not afraid to push the boundaries of extreme metal. Fans of blackened death metal and other extreme subgenres will find much to enjoy here, and it is clear that Empyrean Blood is a band to watch in the future.
