“It's easy to say that Azorean bands don't suffer
from insularity, but in a close analysis, it becomes
very clear that thinking like that is the same as to
close your eyes to the obvious. Enuma Elish as for
the other bands on the islands, suffer of being too
far from the mainland and from it's inherent
opportunities. The music market is smaller and
musicians have to bind their playing preferences and
personal tastes in order to survive, a killer fact
for the most of the bands. But this project is a
great example of perseverance and wiliness which may
characterize someone who truly believes in what is
doing. The initial Enuma Elish used to play more of
a Doom Metal genre, which ended up evolving to a
more eclectic and diverse sound. They describe
themselves as a type of Dark Rock, in the
magnificent multimedia presentation included on the
CD. What we find in all these 6 tunes is a mixing of
heavy power riffs, with rhythmic cadences and
theatrically worked voices, in a very dark and
overshadowed atmosphere. Eterno Descanso "Eternal
Rest" with its impossible to forget melody, with
over delayed guitars in a very emotional ambience,
it's one of those highlighting songs of the demoCD.
A refreshing proposal in the darkest music spectrum,
no doubt. 8/10”
