Back in January, Centuries released their second full-length album, The Lights of This Earth Are Blinding. The hardcore opus is abrasive, dynamic and introspective, with lyrical content that touches upon the uncertainties in life and, as the band stated in a press release, “how we choose to cope with an always looming self-doubt.” Svbterranean recently caught up with guitarist/vocalist Eric Verporter who agreed to give a track-by-track rundown of the new record.

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. It’s abrasive, dynamic, and sets the band off in exciting new directions.

One track in particular stands out and that is the devastating and anguished “May Love Be With You Always”. The track seethes with unbridled anger, which is channeled through throttling metallic hardcore instrumentation. Today we at Svbterranean bring the official music video for said track in all its gloomy glory. The tune is set to various black-and-white clips of the band documenting their travels. The images presented fit rather nicely with the song’s, and album as a whole, dismal atmosphere. Check it out for yourself below.

Centuries craft their darkest and most dynamic material to date on their sophomore full-length album, The Lights of This Earth Are Blinding.

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
