Reign of Vengeance - The Final Aeon for All Humans - Reviewed By Metal Temple ! Cgheck it out here at this link: http://www.metal-temple.com/site/catalogues/entry/reviews/cd_3/r_2/reign-of-vengeance_3.htm

A good Death Metal album is far and few between. You’ll either get the cookie monster growls of bands like DISENTOMB or the equally heavier, but more listenable approach of THE MACHINIST. REIGN OF VENGEANCE falls into neither of these categories however, as it lays in between of both voids.

That being said, "The Final Aeon," while an EP and not a full length album, is a ride through the concept of a war breaking out in a parallel universe due to class warfare and if it were to happen in our timeline. As interesting as a concept as it sounds, and it grabbed my attention, unfortunately it’s a completely forgettable out put by the band. I’m not saying it’s terrible by any means, in fact it has a few golden moments shine through, but it’s let down by the fact that’s it’s so generic in terms of music and ability.

"Fuck The Recession, Kill Those Who Caused It" is exactly as it sounds as a title. Playing the part of the lower class, vocalist Marshall Beck switches between his growls and his cleaner voice to create a decent opener with some beautiful symphonic elements backing him as Tommy Gibbons creates riff after riff with a great solo in between as Samus Paulicelli crushes the drums with his technical abilities.

From there on out the album just fades away as the only saving graces are the cleans of Beck and the occasional symphonic background sound clearing the palette of the heaviness. What could have been a great album is let down by the fact the band doesn’t try to be different in terms of sound. Instead just following the trend of boring sounding old school Death Metal that numbs and bores you to the point of exhaustion. Still, the band and their musical prowess save the record ever so slightly.

Reign Of Vengeance also just released a brand new lyric video for “ American Family Court: Thy Seeds To Belial ” with Brain Damage Films. This single is inspired by singer Marshall Beck’s own horrible experiences as a father fighting within the American family court system, as well as the vast amounts of research he into did this somehow socially-accepted institution. The brutal ode likens the modern institution to the ancient child sacrificing temple of the Canaanites, “Where Men and Children Come To Die”. The song encompasses the visceral story-telling, epic aural assault and occult-themed/chaos-fueled fury for which the band has come to be known.

Of the track and corresponding lyric video, Marshall Beck commented, “We live in a time where misandry runs wild within the establishment media and legal/family court system. This in turn directly and indirectly affects children, fathers, and the cohesive family unit...After personally fighting through the most litigated family court case in the history of Arizona for 7 years and winning, having my rights continually trampled on, weathering through an endless sea of false allegations, having my social media accounts forcefully removed by court orders for criticizing their employees/institution, all of my money and resources drained and/or destroyed by attorneys and court appointees, as well as having my parental abilities continually questioned because of my "death metal lifestyle" being perceived as “a call to violence,” it seems absolutely necessary that Reign Of Vengeance release this song.

Not only does this song reveal what is currently taking place in the American family court system to 84% of children and fathers who end up within the chains of this system, but it does so in what I consider to be one of the best songs Reign Of Vengeance has released to date. Enjoy!” Brain Damage Films owner Darrin Ramage commented “We are the world’s largest distributor of indie horror movies and are delighted to once again be working with the musical horror titans who are Reign Of Vengeance on this release”.

The brainchild of noted metal vocalist, Marshall Beck, Reign Of Vengeance has released four albums/EPs to date, although the band has been around in numerous incarnations for upwards of fifteen years. Reign Of Vengeance has garnered significant attention from the metal community including a strong fanbase with Metal Sucks dubbing a recent release, “a short but incredible piece filled to the brim with violence, self-loathing, and social commentary…” Metal Storm has referred to their music as “one intense stab in the face”. Reign Of Vengeance appears on this recording as Marshall Beck – “The Illuminated Man” (vocals), Stefano Franceschini (Bass), Tyler Hacker (Guitar), Sean Maier (Guitar), Samus Paulicelli (Drums) and Veli Matti Kananen (Keyboards & Synths).
