Enterprise Earth
Luciferous
(Entertainment One)
4.5/5
Luciferous is the third full-length album from the Washington-based deathcore band Enterprise Earth. The album is brutal and powerful; Luciferous is the proof of Enterprise Earth’s stance in the extreme metal scene.
The name of the album brings with it the feeling of how brutal and demonic the music is. In the first half of the record, listeners will be caught in a hellish and powerful storm. With growling vocals and blast beats, it feels like the devils are moshing, storming, and attacking heaven.
But the band mixes it up in the middle of Luciferous with “Requiem,” a smooth melodic track with acoustic guitars that serves as a break from the rest of the more brutal tracks. However, it’s only the calm before the storm, as the demonic gate of hell opens again with the other songs.
Although the subgenre of metal that Enterprise Earth lays down is neither new nor unique, as a metalhead I still highly recommend this album.
