AENAON “Extance”

AENAON
”Extance”
(Code666)
This band I remember from their previous album. I really liked what I heard the last time around. So with a new album just around the corner it is with great expectations that I approach this one. Will they be able to top the previous one or will I be let down majorly? It does start on a promising note. This might be a Greek band but the first thing that struck me was how Norwegian this sounds. Like a combo of Borknagar and Arcturus. And since that is two bands that I like a lot I have nothing against AENAON sounding like either. This is progressive black metal. No, it is not an oxymoron. It might sound like a strange combination on paper but in reality it works wonders. Just as great as I expected. Anders Ekdahl
