ETHER is a Canadian one-man band operating in the realm of depressive black metal with an unmistakably dark edge. With tempos often soaring close to 300 BPM, this is not for the faint-hearted. Expect piercing riffs that could shatter eardrums, haunting, raw vocals that resonate with despair, and catchy yet cutting melodies reminiscent of a brutal age. The relentless rhythms make "Hymns Of Failure" one of the standout albums in the genre this year. It was about time; we were getting a bit too cheerful. BUY AND DIE!
For fans of THE ARRIVAL OF SATAN, EPHELES, NYKTALGIA, GLACIATION.
