HOUSE OF ATREUS – The Spear and the Ichor That Follows

Given intriguing stage names as Anxietous Hero, Anhedonius Wrath, Vespasian, and Orge Thumos, Minnesota four-piece House of Atreus on their debut album "The Spear and the Ichor That Follows" perform an interesting epic/power brand of death metal. A lot of 90’s influences come through in terms of their mid-tempo riff preferences, sense of thick, European epic grooves, and the cultural elements that make you think of everything from Rotting Christ to even Running Wild when taking in "Messenger of a Shaken Host", "Heir to the Crown of Sodom", and the Viking marching "Beasts of Antiquity".

Raw brutality in cohesive musical constructs, this is music that can be seen best in the company of others, swinging axes and adorning armor to champion death metal’s eternal power.
