History

The Slave Eye began in Raleigh, North Carolina by Siervo, who would hire on Eero Tertsunen of Renascent as the band's guitarist in late 2015.[2] The two began working on a demo, which would be titled Black Rust. However, before it was recorded, the band hired on Daniel Cordova, formerly of Vengeance Rising, on bass and Joonas Heikkinen, of Renascent and Angel of Sodom, on drums.[2] With the full lineup, the band recorded the demo and released it on May 1, 2016.[3] With the demo out, the band contributed "Black Stone Idol" to Hymns of the Blackest Light, Vol. 1.[4][5]

Following the demo, the band began to record a full EP, which was titled Unto Hades.[1] The EP would be released on September 22, 2017, and would receive great reviews. Blessed Altar Zine wrote, "All the songs are a good sample of what this band does, a good Black Metal. It has aggression, has melody, has paced moments, has the mix of both. Seriously, very good. I will be attentive to this band to know when they release an album and that they get, or better that they have at least a quality equal to this EP. However and now it will be an aside, but not so much, ehehehehe. The Black Metal played on this EP reminded me of a lot of good stuff I heard many years ago. This EP made me remember Satyricon in the wonderful years. To finish, this EP well that could be the new album of Satyricon, because this EP is very good. I loved it."[1] while Brutalism followed it up with "Unto Hades is a forceful black metal style album full of technical and powerful precision of musicianship with lyrics worthy of thinking a little more about in the future."[6]
