"It has been 6 years since "Those Who Have Risen" was released. The wait is finally over and what we have is an angry, fierce & devastating release from Columbus, Ohio's ACHERON. I have been following ACHERON since the release of "Rites of the Black Mass" which was released in 1992. Each album is completely different from the next. Surprisingly this is the biggest leap the band has taken forward, while also reclaiming their old fan base from the "Rites..." days. This album starts off with the most aggressive song the band has written since "Prayer of Hell" in the form of "Church of One." The song writing is more aggressive and more brutal than their last two releases. One great thing is that this album continues the trend of their last album with NO intros after each song (thank Satan!). This release also sees the keyboards disappear that were so dominant on "Anti-god; Anti-christ" and "Those Who Have Risen." Michael Estes continues to shred on the guitar and has only gotten better with age( he has since been removed from the line up). Vincent Crowley's vocals are the most impressive I have heard from him. This album is a great "resurrection" album and I am glad to see they are still around. If you have never heard of ACHERON they truly stand alone in sound and they avoid following trends. Their other releases are listed below (you will have to search them out on eBay):

Rites of the Black Mass (1992)

Lex Talionis (1994)

Satanic Victory (1994)

Hail Victory (1995)

Anti-god; Anti-Christ (1996)

Those Who Have Risen (1998)

Compendium Diablerie (demos & rare) (2001)

Tribute to the Devil's Music (2003)



Decade Infernus (2004) (best of with tracks from all previous albums remastered)
