Abomino Aetas - Sower of Death (2008)

ABOMINO AETAS doesn't indulge in frills or the Avant-garde. They accomplish their craft by sticking to basics, and in any genre of Metal that starts with writing quality riffs. This album is full of engaging melodies and chord progressions, all played in traditional structures, but sounding fresh as ever. Hateful vocals spill over vibrant, emotive guitar tones. Who cares if these guys are late to the game; originality isn't always requisite to quality. (© Metal Observer)
