Eternal Helcaraxe is an Irish Black Metal band formed in 2003, which after two years of silence following their first demo entitled “The Pale Kingdom”, released in 2008, decided to unleash this five-track EP called “To Whatever End”… The music on this EP could be labeled as a Pagan and melodic form of Black Metal with great emphasis in epic atmospheres of war and fury, where the powerful guitar riffs in unholy communion with a devastating drum work creates mid to fast paced structures that leads the music during the 29 minutes this work lasts. The wise inclusion of keyboards into the music results in an interesting improvement to the whole epic feeling of this EP, never abusing of its subtle sound as many Metal bands actually do, in fact the keyboard work of Praetorian seems intelligently performed to never opaque the heavy metallic sound of this work. At this EP you can also find several acoustic accompaniments, but as with the keyboard work, these elements sound just an interesting complement, never interfering with the reigning evil aura if this EP. The vocals here are one of the grimmest elements of the entire work, consisting in mid tone furious trollish voices (vaguely reminisced to the particular vocal style of Abbath from Immortal), enormously contributes with a more severe old school Black Metal sound, adding a straighter and obscurer dimension to the yet obscure formula… Eternal Helcaraxe shows here a very interesting, powerful and epic work that I would definitely recommend for anyone into the Epic Black Metal sound; “To Whatever End” is the kind of release that won’t leave you indifferent… The band is actually working in a new album entitled “Against All Odds”, which will be released under Abyss Records in the near future… so be aware. - Abyss Records
