When we are dealing with England, we must have in mind: Metal was born in those lands. And it's not difficult to see England giving birth to many of revolutions inside Metal scene.
Metal was born there, came back to life on NWOBHM, and reached high popularity thanks to English bands. And of course we can name some important bands as BLACK SABBATH, IRON MAIDEN, SAXON, and on extreme Metal, ONSLAUGHT and CRADLE OF FILTH. But actually, another name is rising, carrying the torch and the spear of English Metal: the Liverpool based quintet ETHEREAL.
After two independent EPs (2005's "Hells Divine Existence", and 2011's "Revelation Beast"), in January they release via Candlelight Records their first album, "Opus Aethereum", one extreme Metal jewel, that is opening new possibilities into Black Metal due it's melodic and symphonic approach, but with a brutal and oppressive grasp.
We had the opportunity to interview the band, and here it is for you all.
