Цитата
Santa Cruz, California-based technical death metallers SON OF AURELIUS will release their debut album, "The Farthest Reaches", on April 13 via Good Fight Music. The CD was produced by Zack Ohren at Castle Ultimate Studios in Oakland, California and was mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music (CONVERGE, HATEBREED, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN) in New Windsor, New York.
In 2009 local Santa Cruz musicians came together for a three-song recording project that included vocalist Josh Miller, guitarist Cary Gear, and a rhythm section made up of drummer Spencer Edwards and Berklee-trained bassist Max Zigman. The recording took place at Ohren's Castle Ultimate Studios. To a man, the band was floored by the depth and ferocity of the music they created. Their ability to blend technical progression, brutal death, and accents of melody compelled them to turn their studio session into a full-time mission.
With some recorded material under their belt the guys added the final piece to their lineup, former ANIMOSITY guitarist Chase Fraser. Chase had already experienced multiple worldwide album releases and relentless touring around the earth throughout his time in ANIMOSITY.
According to a press release, SON OF AURELIUS "knew they wanted to write music that pushed the boundaries of heavy metal and challenge the depth of songwriting in the extreme death genre. It only takes a few seconds into the first track to pick up on the complexity and sheer brilliance of the musicianship. Perhaps the biggest nod to the songwriting for SON OF AURELIUS is that they never get lost in the overindulgence of shredding that tends to plague so many bands that lean towards the progressive and technical side of metal. There are hooks and moments of melody that blend perfectly with the all-out attack of musicianship. No part ever feels contrived or randomly thrown in just for the sake of change. When the guitars take over and lead the charge, it is done so with sincerity. When a hook kicks in, it is a complement to the song structure and lets the listener settle in for the ride."
