Priests of Annihilation will unquestionably appeal to fans of DISSECTION, EMPEROR, ORIGIN, and IMMORTAL. Yet the album more broadly represents the band’s musical take on experiences past and present. Indeed, it is an ode to their many influences, musical or otherwise. Put simply, ENTHEAN has created a fierce and dynamic album that will excite a wide range of Metal fans.

ENTHEAN BIO:

ENTHEAN is an extreme metal band based out of South Carolina, formed in 2012 with the intentions of creating their own brand of Metal. ENTHEAN seamlessly merges elements of Technical Death, Symphonic Black, Progressive, Thrash, Shred and Classical music. Their sound is driven by precise counterpoint based riffs, furious drumming and a symphonic backdrop. Resulting in a whirlwind of bludgeoning sound, virtuoso technique and masterful composition. ENTHEAN‘s lyrical inspiration comes from life blended with mythology.
