«No matter how decadent we may make our lives or how far the rot of materialism that consumes us seeps ever deeper, “Contra Omnes” stands as a bleak reminder for those who refuse the truths of reality. Many try their best to bring such grandeur to this particular corner of black metal, but it is here that Afraid of Destiny far exceeds many of its contemporaries aren’t able to deliver.»

Thanks Head-Banger Reviews!

Afraid of Destiny – Contra Omnes Already, black metal is a potent style that can become a truly devastating force in the material world so long as it is wielded by capable hands who know how to bring about such chaos. However, it …

Thanks to Wall Of Sound for the mention!

«The majority is a splendid journey that we’ll be taking quite a few times, as additional nuances do pop up on repeated listens. A monumental release is in Afraid of Destiny’s future, and we’ll be there for it. Until then, let Contra Omnes soak in and envelope us in darkness.»

«Beyond Black Metal, which is no longer predominant… much beyond DSBM, which remains present in the atmosphere, ultimately revealing itself as marginal and certainly not predominant, adding a mix of Rock, Metal and Ambient belonging to different directions. But this is the beauty of music, this is the true strength of art and of a record like "Contra Omnes".»

Thanks Metalhead.it!

AFRAID OF DESTINY – “Contra Omnes” (Talheim Records) Imponente crescita per il black decadente e sostanzialmente depressivo degli italiani Afraid Of Destiny, un progetto che ormai si è evoluto dallo status di one man band, diventando una vera band, sia sul palco che in sede compositiva e in studio. Black metal

«Whether Afraid of Destiny’s sound identity remains anchored in a striking and contrasted Atmospheric Black Metal, the band continues to evolve to offer with Contra Omnes softer, even unexpected tonalities at times.»
