Tuesday: Son of Aurelius - The First, The Serpent

     It's Tech Tuesday time once again, and I'm going back to the debut LP from a band that I feel is a little underrated right now. Hopefully this year's sophomore effort Under a Western Sun will change that. In the meantime, back to 2010!

     That's the year that saw the release of Son of Aurelius' freshman record The Farthest Reaches, on which can be found your Tech Tuesday song for this past Tuesday, album closer "The First, The Serpent". Like the rest of the album, it's certainly technically minded enough for a Tech Tuesday song, but it's also strong on melody too, like a good melodeath album.

     I think these guys have the potential to be much bigger than they are, so get in on or near the ground floor and check this one out so you can say you dug Son of Aurelius before they were big.
