Eminenz - Anti-Genesis

Posted on Sunday, January 23, 2011

For those of you who’ve never heard of them before, Eminenz have the distinction of being the band that opened for the legendary Mayhem (at the time, fronted by Dead) when they played in Leipzig. They also opened for Mayhem once again not long ago when, this time less Euronymous and Dead, they played the same place for a “return performance.” While this band’s first LP was fairly straightforward guitar based Black/Death Metal, this new release is more atmospheric and draws influence from more keyboard based bands such as Emperor. The guitars are prominent and thick, giving Eminenz a more Death Metal sound than 90% of the Black Metal bands out there. The keyboards are also integrated better than most others. When they are used, they sound like they belong there. They didn’t just throw them on. Imagine a band with the heaviness of Death Metal, the atmosphere of a band like Emperor, and enough talent to mesh the two together the right way.
