Swedish Melodic Death metal? from Italy?? Yep, sounds weird, but this are the facts, APEIRON are a three piece from Italy playing Melodic Death Metal, Swedish style, hey! I happen to like Swedish Melodic Death Metal, so if my math is correct I should like this one?

First let me give a applause for the presentation here, beside that this self-produced demo has a decent production (could be better, but it's a demo), the cover art is great too! But they also took the liberty to make a whole press kit, in a Cd-r, this contains Biography in English and Italian, images, Mp3's from live presentations and some samples, also a offline version of their website! You can tell when a band puts some effort in their work and this one is a prime example of this!

Anyway, back to the music, this is great stuff, very powerful, very energetic, The vocal delivery is excellent, and the riffing is incredible. But (there's always a but), this is something that I heard before, their sound is very akin to the kings of the Gothenburg scene, yep you guessed right Dark Tranquillity, listening to songs like "Wavespell" (great song by the way) and "Stone Gazed" reminds me of DT. They even included a live cover of "Zodijackil Light" in the press kit, coincidence? I don't think so.

So what to do? Change everything? Nah, they just need to find their own sound, and they have plenty of time to do it, I'll place my bet on Apeiron.
