Esox are a solo project from Italy that plays a very atmospheric form of post black metal and this is a review of his self released 2023 ep "...and the Ocean Will Swallow us All" which will b e released in October.
Nature orientated soundscapes start off the ep along with some acoustic guitars a few seconds later. The only track present on this recording is also over 27 minutes in length while spoken word parts can also be heard briefly as well the songs also mix in a lot of elements of post rock and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the solos and leads are also done in a very atmospheric style. When the music speeds up a small amount of blast beats can be heard along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them, the music also has its atmospheric moments.
Clear vocals and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with some synths also being utilized at times as well as the recording sticking to mostly a slow or mid tempo direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover a claustrophobic event caused by the greed of mankind.
In my opinion Esox are a very great sounding atmospheric post black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. 8 out of 10.
