AEVERIUM: Bombastic dark metal full of harmonies

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.

What is this secret door through which Aeverium take us on their latest album “The Secret Door”? According to the promising album cover, something mystical and dark. – And that proves to be the case when you listen to it. “The Secret Door” goes beyond dark or symphonic metal clichés, because Aeverium enrich the genre with a fresh sound. Frontman Marcel Römer explains: “The music is created the way we feel like it at the moment: no pretense, no compromises, 100 percent human, 100 percent musician, 100 percent Aeverium.” In addition to the nine multi-faceted, English-language songs, the partly German-language “Herzlinie” is also a hit across the board. The dark sound of Aeverium merges with Neue Deutsche Härte. This is ensured by the sound on the one hand and guest singer René Anlauff’s (Heldmaschine) rolling “R” on the other. It’s hard to describe how well his voice harmonizes with those of Marcel Römer and Vanessa Katakalos. The sound is also particularly varied. But before we get too carried away – you can read a review here shortly – this remains: “The Secret Door” and Aeverium, that means bombastic dark metal full of harmonies.
