Description
In 2009 local Santa Cruz musicians came together. 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. The band 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 is hook and moments of melody that blend perfectly with the all out attack of musicianship. 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. With 'The Farthest Reaches' the sky is the limit for Son of Aurelius this is brutal, this is intense..this is stunning! Like their namesake did many centuries ago, The Son of Aurelius are poised to leave their own mark on history.
