Individual
reasons to hate God are things of the past. Meanwhile four rowdies
found a generally accepted code, which can be executed on every
God. At least one can reach this conclusion when mentioning the
countries of origin of GODHATECODE’s (prominent)
members. Wolfgang Rothbauer (Thirdmoon, In Slumber, Eisblut) and
Armin Schweiger (Distaste) compete for Austria, Avulsed bass-man
Tana is field for Spain and all of them are hunted by Swedish
and former Grave drummer Pelle Ekegren, actually flaying the drums
in Coercion. Knowing each other since almost 15 years because
of touring and so on, it seems that they spilled out their guts
in several religious discussions whose are trussed sometimes and
banned onto Aeons. And that this won’t go
on less prude can already discovered in the quite short playing
time of nearly 32 minutes. This release goes straightforward without
run the risk of losing technical comprehension; no question, they
got it musically. And when they celebrate depressed riffs parallel
to blast- and double-bass attacks GODHATECODE is a factor
front and center. Aeons is pegged as Brutal Death
Metal willingly, I really can’t support this. Arcs of melodies
are interspersed time and again so this speaks a foreign language.
Also the final shot in the neck does: Narcoleptic Wrath
caters a phat moshgroove besides the blastparts, the vocals aren’t
to find in the depths all the time – Armin Schweiger with
his grind proofed voice makes sure that there is enough room above
the Death Metal depths. I want to round off this: Aeons
includes three clear highlights for me: first the opener Crawl
Down To Zero which hits you like a plank in your puss, the
German intonated Seelenkalt that rises up to a real crusher
with its bearing melody and finally the already mentioned combination
of playing fast and slow elements contrariwise. Single defect:
Aeons isn’t able to keep the submitted high
standard at any times. So, the one and other song seem to be slightly
ineffectual and less slip-proof. If GODHATECODE settle
the right settings we should be prepare for a damn good banger.
