Azketem are a solo project from Germany that plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of his 2022 album "Azetik" which will be released on December 16th by Untod Productions.
Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into a heavier musical direction while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Clear vocals can also be heard at times along with a great portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
Grim black metal screams are also a very huge part of the recording while the keyboards also give the album more of an atmospheric feeling when they are utilized When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow and mid tempo parts with the faster sections only being added on a couple of tracks along with some of the songs also having interludes in between them, touches of ambient can also be heard at times. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Mysticism themes that also show some influences from the writings of Aliester Crowley.
In my opinion Azketem are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out t his album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dannen Rijk" and "Branden Bluot". 8 out of 10.
