Melodic death metal from Finland. Totally finnish, I should admit. The band already released alot of stuff: demos, promos and among others a MCD released through HellaRecords entitled
" This Side of Paradise". "Them used Gods" is even the seventh release from these finnish guys, appearing as mid-paced, technical and melodic death metal.

Aggressive, brilliantly performed and executed and with an excellent sound, being the demo mastered at Finnvox by Mika Jussila. Rather diverse, well arranged, coming with highly exciting lyrical canvas. But anyway, more variety is what they need, that's for sure… Lots of tempo changes and alike stuff is not what I'm talking, you see. Elenium needs something different, which could make them to stand against a background of melodic death metal clones. As a verdict: this three-song CD will definitely appeal to you if you're into Scandinavian melodic metal and hopefully, for the band could be finally the key to get a deal.
