Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

We don’t need to enter the great works of fiction and musical fantasy to find that the modern world is one in which the land is fractured, the place where evil and light do constant battle, Queen spoke of the Ogre Battles and the dominion of the Black Queen, Tolkien opened the eyes of millions to Mordor, and yet for Italian Metal Band Aetherna the imagery is subtler, refined, an memory of ache and the concern for the future of our own take on reality; the Gothic/Hard Metal touch of Darkness Land is all consuming.
