Ancient Symbolism
Italy's FEAR OF ETERNITY consists of a single individual, Tilenni, who plays all instruments and produces his works. The style is a form of keyboard-based black metal despondency.

The trend continues with the "Legend Land" MCD, the follow-up to LEAVES' EYES' critically...July 31, 2006

Fans of the style will find nothing distasteful about any of it...July 3, 2006

May God Strike Me Dead
A biting riff scythes away, a ripping solo pierces the air, guttural vocals spew hate and disgust, pinch harmonics fly out like bullets… And that's just the opening song, "Crackdown", from FLESHGORE's "May God Strike Me Dead".
