AETERNUS

BURNING THE SHROUD

Hammerheart

2001

I think most people know the Norwegian Aeternus, because the band did gigs in the past with Cannibal Corpse, Emperor and Deicide, and because they've released some great albums. For the people that don't know them, Aeternus is a mixture of black metal and doomy death metal. 'Burning The Shroud' isn't the official successor of 'Shadows Of Old', but this cd includes all of the great songs by Aeternus that they have released in the past, with some special songs on it and one new song from the in March coming new album. The new song is a rough titlesong, this mix will only be available on 'Burning The Shroud'. The songs 'Midnatt Storm' and 'Raven And Blood' from 1999 were not on 'Shadows Of Old'. Only 'Midnatt Storm' doesn't sound familiar to me, but 'Raven And Blood' already was released on their debut mini-cd 'Dark Sorcery' from 1995. It's realy a bit strange that 'Midnatt Storm' wasn't on 'Shadows Of Old' it's a great song. This cd also includes some good live songs like the songs 'When The Crows Shadow Falls' and 'To Enter The Realm Of Legend'. And the songs 'Dark Rage', 'Fire And Wind' from the 1998 limited picture-disc single and the song 'In The Darkest Circles Of Time' this song already was included as bonustrack on the re-release from the 'Dark Sorcery' mini-cd and on the limited tour-edition cd 'And So The Night Became'. Nice cd, but were we are really waiting for is the real new cd. Oooh yeah, the cd has a total time of 50 minutes and is saled as midprice.
