Athiel are a solo project from Italy that plays an occult form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2022 ep "Birth From Darkness".
Acoustic guitars starts off the ep before going into a heavier and melodic musical direction while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to t hem and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast b eats can b e heard.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while t he tremolo picking in the faster riffing also gives the music more of a raw feeling when it is utilized along with the solos and leads also adding in a great amount of melody when they are introduced into the music, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly.
Athiel plays a style of occult black metal that is very melodic and aggressive sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Anti Cosmic Satanism, Death, Chaos and Necromancy themes.
In my opinion Athiel are a very great sounding occult black metal solo project and if you are a f an of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Lord Of Death". 8 out of 10.
