Lucifyre employs black death as a means to paint their world which is currently in flames. The balance between black and death metal, historically, utilizes the strengths of both styles leading to a sound which is menacing in the low end but also unique in the high. Lvcifyre does this with rousing success and manages to scare listeners with surprise and tenacity. Songs like “The Fiery Spheres of the Seven,” “Chalice of Doom,” and the album’s title track are a testament to the ability to remind everyone heavy metal can still be frightening. It is. I am quivering. There is even room for ill fitting guitar solos which skirt criticism by adding to the confusion. Though Svn Eater is a deluge of chaos, its strengths rest in a sonic balance which seem to be only used for the greater advancement of darkness. It maybe the most listenable black death in recent memory.
