OVERVIEW:
The Italian epic doom metal scholars IN AEVUM AGERE return as a trio again with their 4th full-length, "Darkness, Then Light". They take us back to hell once more, concluding their trilogy based on Dante's Inferno part of his magnum opus, "Divine Comedy". Prepare for a harrowing voyage alongside Dante and Virgil, an immersive and evocative homage to the source material that echoes the lamentations of the damned. Band mastermind Bruno Masulli has further honed the art of composing multi-layered guitar harmonies and shred-intensive solos, while his commanding, powerful and clear baritone voice elevates the music far above average. Expect a wide spectrum of moods as the melodic and slower elegiac, epic passages are occasionally punctuated by aggressive outbursts of rage in the rhythm section, adding a touch of thrash metal urgency. This album is for all those who crave the sound of classic CANDLEMASS, SOLITUDE AETURNUS, BELOW, SORCERER, MEMENTO MORI, FORSAKEN, EVANGELIST, PROCESSION, THUNDERSTORM and CRYPT SERMON.
