After listening to Sower of Death a couple of times, during night time and during day time, it became clear to me: when you are familiar with a band like Darkthrone, you will find Abomino Aetas comparable and thus predictable. They seem to introduce most of the songs with samples of rain and thunder while lacking any kind of originality. The lyrics are written in English, except for the song ‘Katt’, which is written in Norse. Although the quality of the production is of a pretty high standard, the songs are basic. If you like the traditional style, you will highly appreciate the melodic riffs, double bass percussion and abhorrent vocals. If you get easily bored by Norwegian Black Metal as we know it, you probably won’t feel any different after listening to Sower of Death.
