After an eight-year silence, German black metal duo Aegror has erupted back onto the scene with Reign of Disease. This unrelenting and conceptually ambitious record blends post-black metal aggression with narrative-driven depth. Hailing from Kerken, Germany, Aegror, comprised of vocalist Narthaas and guitarist/producer Abyssu, has self-produced this eight-track onslaught with clarity and intent, showcasing a rare combination of old-school black metal spirit and modern compositional finesse.
From the opening blast beats to the closing dissonance, Reign of Disease is a ferocious meditation on humanity’s fragility, told through the apocalyptic lens of Plaguebreeder, a fictional interdimensional entity bent on collapse. However, beneath the sci-fi veneer, Aegror deftly weaves in critiques of real-world chaos, pandemics, political erosion, and social decay. Tracks like the crushing title song and “Reign of Disease” exemplify the band’s musical duality: vicious yet cinematic, chaotic yet deliberate.
What truly elevates Reign of Disease is its production. Abyssus’s mixing balances lo-fi tremolo urgency with a modern polish that maintains authenticity without compromising impact.
With a steadily growing audience of 6,000 monthly Spotify listeners and rising, Aegror’s rebirth feels both timely and vital. For fans of extreme metal who crave substance behind the brutality, this album is a must-listen.
