Metal Inc Exclusive : Order Of Ennead, The Concept of Our Extinction (Earache Records)

ORDER OF ENNEAD - 'AN EXAMINATION OF BEING' **** RELEASE DATE: April 19th, 2010 **** "Outstanding brutality with classic metal sensibilities" Order of Ennead up the stakes with their second album, 'An Examination of Being'. A cohesive and bold set of material, the album brings to the fore the respective qualities of each band member - the relentless blasting barrage from drummer Steve Asheim, the distinctive and melodic fluency of John Li's lead playing and the waspish rasp of Kevin Quirion's vocal style - which all combine to create a sound that is equal parts death metal battery and melodic classic metal restraint. Having honed their style on various tours across America and Europe in the past 18 months, Order of Ennead are now ready to make their mark. The catchiness inherent in tracks like "The Scriptures of Purification" and "Lies Upon the Lips of Judas" are sure to elevate the band above and beyond the status of a mere "Deicide side-project" and see them hailed as a distinctive act in their own right.
