Release Date: 2008 | Tracklist


A relentless album not lacking with variety and unapologetic in its absurdly demolishing sound, “Blessed Be This Nightmare” delivers an unforgettable sound that stays constant throughout, yet lacks any sign of redundancy. Each song seems masterfully pieced together- not once was I bored listening to this album. With that being said, rarely is an album released that most people can say they can listen to from end-to-end, and I can confidently say that Eternal Lord have created an album that will be widely spoken of.


Song one, “Hot To Trot”, is great, and then “Get To F*ck” starts the onslaught of metal that culminates and snowballs throughout the rest of the album. No song sounds the same: each is made up of it’s own unique elements. The breakdowns are absolutely ridiculous. “Amity” (track 8) is a pretty sweet instrumental song that busts into O’ Brother, Where Art Thou (track 9) with no hesitation or warning. Amity was probably put in as an intermission to the amazing display of metal in all the tracks leading up to it, then the torrential current of brutality continues onto the last song.


Both Eternal Lord’s instruments and vocals are punishing as well as well-written. This album is far from aesthetically pleasing- it’s a *** storm of complete chaos that just so happens to be a key trait for any great metal album.


There’s no whining, no crying, and no compromises on “Blessed Be This Nightmare”. There’s nothing apologetic about this album, and no reason why people shouldn’t hear it. It’s sure to be one of the most potent metal albums of 2008.

Eternal Lord will please fans of Ed Butcher & Deathcore, but will do little to nothing for dissenter...

At the risk of cranking out a cliche sputnik statement: This is more like a soundoff then a review. It needs a lot more description and polish.

"A relentless album not lacking with variety and unapologetic in its absurdly demolishing sound"

I highly doubt that statement is true, and/or that this is a classic

I've never heard a full I Killed The Prom Queen album, but I dont think they are even worth a 4.5 or a 4. They're just another shitty deathcore band. I swear deathcore is by far the worst metal genre.

Hawks10Pec i think you shuldnt not like a band because of their genre if u want good songs i think the best in that album that u mite enjoy are probably: Sharks in your Mouth, Say Goodbye, Columbian Neck Tie, The Deepest Sleep and Slain Upon my Faithful Sword, also this specific album wuld be considered if anything metalcore due to the different sound and the style of screaming by ed butcher

one more thing im only 14 so i think i have an alrite ear for such a young person thanx rasputin
