Aesis are a band from Italy that plays a folk influenced form of atmospheric black metal and this is a review of their self released 2024 ep "Toutas".
Nature sounds start off the ep along with some folk instruments a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Ritualistic whispers can also be heard briefly while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. Harsh black metal screams are also a very huge part of the tracks mixed in with a few growls along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style.
Aesis plays a style of black metal that is very atmospheric sounding as well as mixing in elements of folk music to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover the Gallic tribes of the Senomes.
In my opinion Aesis are a very great sounding folk influenced black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Bivos". 8 out of 10.
