Astral Evocation are a band from Mexico that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a very avant garde and orthodox form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "Abditus Perditio".
Avant garde sounds start off the album and also mix in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Clear vocals can also b e heard briefly while the faster parts of the album also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling and the recording also has its prohressive moments.
Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls while the album also adds in a good balance between slow, mid paced and fast parts. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and the solos and leads are also done in a very dissonant style.
Keyboards are also added into certain sections of the recording along with all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Spoken words can also be heard at times as well as one song also being an instrumental and they close the album with a Der Weg Einer Freheit cover. The production sounds vey dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Spanish and cover the conjuring of primordial forces of Abyss Void, and Chaos.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Astral Evocation and if you are a fan of avant garde and orthodox black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Abyssum Incorporeum (Perditio Movement I)" and "Umbral oculto de transmutaciones caóticas (Perditio Movement III)". 8 out of 10.
