### Eternal Gray: Your gods, my enemies

#### 18/08/13 || Pr0nogo

Here we have a pretty standard slab of technical-leaning death metal from Eternal Gray, a now-disbanded four-piece from Israel’s Tel Aviv. While “Your Gods, My Enemies“ has its moments, it’s largely plagued with two major flaws: generic instrumentation and lack of real song direction. The structure of the songs feels very recycled, because you’ve either heard it before on another album, or you’ve heard it before on this album, and I don’t like shit that repeats itself. The guitar tones are pretty decent, but the actual notes and chords played are rather typical of the genre. The high notes are pretty much technical death metal riffs in a nutshell, except without the required proficiency, and the lower notes sound an awful lot like some metalcore bands I’ve had the displeasure of hearing. The vocals sound decent but lack variety, and much the same can be said for the drums.

If you just want to thrash your head around and enjoy blisteringly-fast speeds and mindless execution, by all means give Eternal Gray’s last full-length a spin, but if you’re looking for more depth… you won’t find it here.

6/10: At least they weren’t eternal, eh?
