User Album Review
Gorod‘s Æthra checks three boxes for me. First, it is an excellent continuation of the band’s development as a premier technical death metal act. On top of that, Gorod doesn’t stand still. Æthra shows the Frenchmen developing a sound that blends in a variety of influences and still comes off as biting and sharp as their previous albums. Gorod came back from their slumber with an album chock full of sick riffs, invigorating songs and a bunch of new ideas. So, while I miss some of the elements that the band used so effectively on past releases—particularly the jazziness—Æthra is anything but disappointing. Second, the more I listen to the guitar work on Æthra, the more I think of Anata, which is as high a compliment as I can give a tech death band. As a fan of virtuoso guitar work, Gorod‘s axemen have delivered a feast of ridiculous solos and riffs of which I cannot get enough. Third, and last, I want to stare at this art for the next month because I love it. Put it all together and Æthra was the obvious record to award one of our highest honors.
