Artist: NEAERA
Album: "OMNICIDE - CREATION UNLEASHED LTD. EDIT. (CD+DVD)"

Year: 2009
Media type: CD

NEAERA's rise within the extreme metal scene sounds like a fairytale. Less than a year after the band's inception they were already offered a deal by the legendary Metal Blade Records, back in April 2004. A mere 13 months later, the critically-acclaimed debut “The Rising Tide Of Oblivion” – which scored a perfect 7 out of 7 in the German edition of Metal Hammer – was in the shops, and what followed is a success story seldom for such a young band!

Their sophomore album, “Let The Tempest Come”, repeated the perfect rating in Metal Hammer and hit the scene like a bomb. Their fanbase grew by the day, their gigs on tours (with As I Lay Dying, Heaven Shall Burn, Caliban and Kataklysm, a.o.) and festivals (With Full Force, Pressure Fest, Summer Breeze, Wacken) became more and more explosive. This upward trend culminated in album numer three, “Armamentarium”, reaching position number 65 in the official German album charts, even beating established acts like As I Lay Dying in the Amazon pre-sales charts in August 2007. Headlining tours and more festival shows in front of absolutely insane fans followed.

If you believe the old unwritten law about the third album in a band's carrer being the one to “make it or break it”, these nice kids from Mьnster, Westphalia are on the verge of big things. And this is undoubtedly confirmed by album number four, “Omnicide – Creation Unleashed”. With a massive sound, mixed by producer legend Zeuss (Hatebreed etc.), and totally destructive, epic compositions, NEAERA will rise to uncharted heights in 2009. The band has matured and become a tight unit that effortlessly combines sheer brutality with the characteristic melodies of Swedish death metal. And this ability, which has now been perfected to the maximum, has gained the band the status of leaders within the scene, only six years after their formation.

“Omnicide – Creation Unleashed” – the most important release this year from the German extreme metal scene! NEAERA – leaders of a new generation of fans and bands! Both put together – total annihilation!
