The “Hiraeth” EP by the band Æpoch is a remarkable work that reveals the band’s evolution, enhancing the focus on the intricacies and development of Death metal. Hiraeth EP was released with five tracks, each exhibiting savage sonic carnage. Each track consists of perfect scores with intricately sculpted bludgeon guitars and adroit vocals. With the incorporation of new members Marcus and Nicholas, Aepoch brings in more ideas that help shape their already existing persona. It is quite fascinating how results from other places are completely transformative, while the bands familiar sound from elsewhere remains. In songs like Amnesia, where Jerry Martin helps out with clean vocals, they also proudly display their capacity to reinvent the wheel in an elegant way. Hiraeth is a vivid advancement for Aepoch as it brings joy to the followers of contemporary metal but also exhibits a glimpse of a more creative future.
