Time Signature
An ever-expanding metal...
Genre: prog-tech death metal
Featuring members who have been involved in the likes of Animosity, The Faceless, Animals As Leaders, and Inferi, Entheos is not a wet-behind-the-ears affair although "The Infinite Nothing" is the band's debut album.
The cumulation of the individual members' experiences definitely makes itself felt on the album. From beginning to end, the listener is treated to impressively complex and sophisticated, yet heavy-as-fuck death metal. From crunchy riffs and heavy breakdowns (that kick the ass of any deathcore out there) through odd time signatures, crushing drumbeats, syncopations and growls/screams to melodic and at times jazzy guitar solos, the listener is taken on a mind-boggling musical journey. To top it off, there are hints of electronica every now and then which actually fit very well into the overall picture.
While probably not everyone's cup of tea, Entheos' "The Infinite Nothing" is definitely a very good tech death metal album which should appeal to any fan of the genre.
