Blackened hardcore outfit Centuries released their sophomore full-length, The Lights of This Earth Are Blinding, late last month. The record is a dark epic that sidesteps genre conventions by incorporating atmospheric, sludge and melodic elements into the mix, while staying true to the band’s signature hellacious hardcore.

This formerly Florida-based act, whose lineup is now based both stateside and in the UK, possess a dark sound that seems to spawn from the most harrowing aspects of human existence. Their music is both seething with anguish and sorrow; emotions that are heightened by a blackened brand of furious hardcore. Centuries were last heard on their blistering 2013 album, Taedium Vitae, an emotionally potent and devastating release that scorched everything in its path in a mere 20 minutes. Outdoing such a promising debut could prove to be a very daunting task, but Centuries do it with ease on The Lights of This Earth Are Blinding. Continue Reading
