At last, more death metal I can really get into. Son of Aurelius are a hard-working and talented group of guys, who started out around a couple years ago, and then released a full-length on a respectable label barely a year into their creation. Then re-released it digitally with MORE songs.
At a first glance, they don't seem like your average tech death band. Which they aren't, and which is probably why they appeal so much to me. A brightly-coloured album cover drew the attention first, then they hooked me in with soaring guitar melodies and some pretty fun moments for a metal band. They don't go overboard on the dark, brooding and morbid element that defines the death metal genre; they just play technical, fast and epic metal, and judging by the tone of their music have a damn good time doing it.
