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 Metallian”

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 Metallian”
