Suicidal Angels – Eternal Domination

Suicidal Angels’ “Eternal Domination” is a bizarre album. Seamlessly melding fastidious scrupulosity and a raw sense of delirious anger doesn’t sound like an attainable task, but Suicidal Angels does just that. Every fathomable musical element is accounted for on “Eternal Domination”–an album so brutal, so unapologetic in its anti-Christian overtones, that this musical juxtaposition feels all the more strange. Rather, the fact that this fusing of raw passion and meticulosity feels natural is what feels so strange. “Eternal Domination” is an album that follows a very linear timeline; it starts with an idea, and it doesn’t expand beyond that idea very often. The drummer is the obvious exception to this theory; he plays around with a countless number of fills, and time and time again, his playing is where the listener’s focus is drawn.
