AAEN
ANIMA - EP 1 PÝCHA A SVÉHLAVOST
It is simultaneously difficult and simple to review this disc. Well, the
band is as underground as they come. The DIY package and write-up as well as the
uneven composition and recording are a testament to that. It says ‘composition,’
because there is only one track on this disc. Yes, it is 12 minutes long and
probably a composition made of several parts, and as asserted by the biography,
features several styles under one roof (on one disc?). The composition is by and
large instrumental although the occasional harsh scream flares up from the abyss
to roar aggression. It/he sounds like a dying witch gone berserk. Amidst the
cacophony rawness, fierceness and a melancholy violin dance in tandem. What are
the chances these guys are not on drugs? The band has a home at aaen-anima.ic.cz
and can be reached at aaen@seznam.cz signifying its Czech origin. – Ali “The

AAEN ANIMA - EP 2 NIKDY NEPŘEDCHÁZEJÍ PÁD
For all its assertions to metal the second simultaneous EP – so
described as it was released as one with part 1 and only later separated – is
mostly quiet and acoustic. While cries of anguish and rancour emit from the disc
on the very rare occasion most of the thirty minutes of this demo is filled with
acoustic strumming, slow guitar picking and instrumental solitude and even Led
Zeppelinish moments. The guitar playing isn’t half bad, but way too quiet or
subdued to be appointed heavy or metal. The focus is at least on guitars and not
strings or keys, but the material is obscure and wandering nonetheless. This is
the son of Master’s Hammer. Check them out at aaen-anima.ic.cz. – Ali “The
