In the times when it wasn’t so popular
having a black metal band in Serbia, when only few determined accepted this
dark art, an idea about a band was born. The band that will be neglected by
many as too raw and underground in fact was the one that painted the history of
this genre in Serbia. Always beneath the darkness, darker than the underground,
loyal to their belief has filled our tape recorders and CD players with
roughest and rawest black metal madness for thirteen years and thrust many
honest dark followers into a total blasphemy and built their perception of raw
underground sounds of the most honest dark souls. Born in a small town, with no
big money and protected posing mum’s and dad’s sons, this band has created the
otherworldly art that will be talked about and crushed all soft and sweet metal
sounds with its brutal satanic message, as bloody as its music is. If you still
enjoy the hits of mainstream black metal pussies it is time to enter a deeper
dimension and meet the world beneath the underground, a fucking sound from the
bowls of hell. It’s time for Eris.
The compilation “10 Years of Blasphemy and
Sicknesses”, that we’ve had the chance to hear, is a significant black metal
piece, not only for the band itself but the whole Serbian black metal scene.
The compilation was published in 2012, at the time when Eris was celebrating
their tenth anniversary, and by its author’s opinion it contains the darkest
corners and works of the band since their foundation till 2012. As we’ve mentioned,
this a historical heritage of one of the rawest, deepest and blackest bands of
this kind on our scene. The whole 10 years of inhabiting the underground and
expressing a new dimension that Eris represents is certainly the thing that
metal followers should recognize. This compilation starting with the song
“Awaiting Destiny”, that was also the first one on their first demo “Symbol of
Madness”, and all up to the last one, “Unholy”, depicts a clear message to
their loyal auditory. It is rare to hear so many blackness, rust and
uncompromised attitude anywhere, let alone on our scene. Have you ever wondered
what the feeling of the deepest hell is? If you can’t even imagine that Eris
will certainly help you! The sound that fucking breaks your eardrums and takes
you to a bloodlust reality is a symbol of this unusual band’s insanity. Terror
that represents antichristian baptism with vocals of Eris explained to the new
kids how does the old masters school of dark arts sound. Also, Necro with his
diabolical guitar riffs, as well as Count Zero That is literally performing an
exorcism on his drums have capsuled this band into a completely new dimension
that will surely be recognized by their fans. Sick blasphemy, just as it suits
this band, has been brought by this album published by “Grim Reaper Records”.

A smooth and sophisticated production is
not a goal that this band pursuits or is lead by this. That is comprehensible
regarding the fact that the darkest dimension that this band represents
couldn’t be depicted with something refined and soft, but only with raw and
rough bloody legacy of black metal sound. Besides the darkest underground arts,
Eris also represents all that is absurd, bizarre and unusual. If you’re
committed to black metal sound and this kind of dark art, you should definitely
get your copy of this compilation, because what it brings can change your idea
of music and open your ears to the sound of true fucking sickness and
blasphemy. Many years have passed, but Eris goes on. It’s a huge question of
what we could expect, ‘cause these boys won’t stop. They were here when many of
you weren’t, and they still will be when you leave. The raw sound can’t die
because it’s already dead, and the only thing that will last are the years of
blasphemy and sickness together with Eris…
