Spain's Akouphenom have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an aggressive mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 ep "Connections To The Erebus" which was released by Unorthodox Emanations.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the ep before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls while a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while some of the riffing also adds in a small amount of melody. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the solos and leads also bringing in more of an extreme black/death metal style, elements of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs and keyboards are introduced on the closing track which is also an instrumental.
On this recording Akouphenon goes for a very modern and aggressive mixture of black and death metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Spanish and cover existential dread and mortality.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Akouphenon and if you are a fan of black and death metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Absurd Of The Arkhe" and "Abismo". 8 out of 10.
