Aethyr - Nihil Grail EP (2011)
/Doom metal, Drone doom metal, Post-metal, Avant-metal, Funeral doom, Epic, Experimental metal/
Comment: just 2 long-running notches which take on doom metal with the elements of black metal, funeral, and drone music. Behind Aethyr are two musicians who share their time between Russia, and Western Europe, and whose wish is to stay incognito to the rest of the world. However, their music is very intense, massive, and epic simulatneously which is also one of the main goals of metal music indeed. Furthermore, those hirsute rolling guitars seem to cry throughout the course. Their grail is very impressive in its swaying between insatiable power and aesthetical aspirations.
