EP Review: "Maere" by Eschatos

Maere
When hearing a news story, it's always nice to consume unbiased news. (Yes, it does exist. Just because one person cannot tell a story without their bias doesn't mean all of humanity lacks the ability.)

What's great about some news sources, they give you analysis and reaction from people on both sides of the issue, so the picture is clearer as to how it may affect you, your loved ones, and all that kind of stuff.

It seems to me that when a second, or third voice is heard, my initial perception is crushed and a bigger picture comes into focus.

It's important to hear more than a single voice in your life. Echo chambers will kill us all because no pizza places deliver to echo chambers. Also, Jets Pizza....that stuff is the best chain pizza out there.

Eschatos
The sextet of Eschatos beckons us all to hear their warnings.

This band could literally be a hockey team. Certainly, they'd have to be in tip top shape in order for them to play the whole time without any substitutions, but anything worth doing...am I right?

In metal, anything more than four people can quickly devolve into chaos....which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Our friends from Eastern Europe have zero chaos in their music.

It's controlled and precise.

But there's more than a single voice telling the story. Apart from whatever instruments all of these people play, there are (at least) two vocalists.

There is a great number of bands in the world that once they plug in and start playing, they'll be sounding just like that first song until they're done. Some bands that I've seen recently...don't even have any differentiation in their songs at all....so their album might as well be one track.

Eschatos heeds that warning and has created a 2 song and 22 minute EP full of progressive black metal that lasts as long as your favorite sitcom. The major difference, I mean aside from the artistic medium, is that once those 22 minutes are up, you'll start it over.

When's the last time you did that with The Big Bang Theory?
