### Aegeon: Forbidden entrance to the gardens of death

#### 10/02/12 || Smalley

Because Metallum is currently blacked-out in protest of SOPA, I wasn’t able to ascertain whether “Forbidden entrance” was a full-length, EP, demo, whatevers, and I’m not going to bother with MySpace ‘cuz MySpace sucks. But anyway, even if this isn’t really a demo, it would still seem more “fair” to treat it as such, because the production here is just absolute shit; imagine the weakest, most ball-less, Darkthrone-inspired dentist drill-buzz guitar ever (with nigh-inaudible solos and quiet fart-strength bass), and you’re kinda there.

The songwriting doesn’t make up for that either, as it’s just droning, generic, mostly hook-less black metal that feels like it goes on for way too long; srsly, this only lasts about 22+ minutes, and it still felt like I’d been listening a half hour after just the first track. I guess the vocals are fine, but that isn’t close to being enough. I imagine some BM fans would enjoy this simply for how tr00 and kvlt and non-conformist it is, but not me, so…

4/10: Kill it with fire.
