A lonely string is plucked, soft sepulcher seems to bleed through the speakers, before a dissonant miasma creeps forward penetrating ears, mind and bone. Eudaemon have found you. Many bands discover their truth in dissonant and subversive black metal, plenty more have taken to the blending, bending and rending of multiple genres. Eudaemon have skirted both, while honoring them all at once, also invoking the spirit of bands like City of Caterpillar, Krallice, and even On the Might of Princes. The shattered porcelain howls and unconquerable wall of sound ebb and flow, through inspired solo, contemplative interlude, and frenzied melodic exchange, explicitly illustrating the band’s sound as an anchor to their namesake, both a nod to and inversion of the holy higher self.
Members have found their inspiration across the heavy music spectrum, citing influences that include Gojira, Senza, and Killswitch Engage, to give a small taste of the band’s collective musical palette. Tracks like the blistering “Karst” exemplify the band’s intensity; “Empty Hallway” showcases biting lyricism, which guitarist and vocalist Andie Landsem describes as “processing negative emotions I'm feeling as a shout into the void and falling into the cathartic release of emotions in intense music.” These are merely two tracks of the six that make up Spiritual Anguish, Eudaemon’s debut album. Every element of influence and innovation is on display, all culminating in the final track “In Mirrors,” a genetic footprint of everything the band embodies and does so well. An almost folk-like opening soon plunges into soulful and complex riffing mixed with immensely heavy sections, trading off classic metal singing passages that would’ve made James Dio crease a grin, before melodically strutting into massive and cacophonic sections of black metal fused with thrash, hardcore and punk.
Capturing a haunting sonic landscape, unafraid of clean rhythms and sung melodies, Eudaemon takes to the task with enough deftness and skill that you can’t help but wonder how their contemporaries feel being left in the dust. It would be unsurprising to find they can only experience the awe of everything that this burgeoning and hungry young band have to offer.
