Adaestuo are an international band with members from Belgium, Finland, Poland and the united States that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very experimental form of ambient black metal and this is a review of their 2022 ep "Purge Of The Night" which will b e released in August by W.T.C Productions.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the ep along with some militant industrial style drum beats a few second later. Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly while the vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams and most of the tracks are also long and epic in length.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style along with the track also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, dark ambient style synths can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording as well as a couple of tracks also adding in a brief use of clear male and female vocals and the music also has its experimental moments.
On this recording Adaesto brings in more of an experimental and ambient style of black metal as well as retaining a great amount of raw aggression. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover occultism and spiritual praxis themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Adaetuo and if you are a fan of experimental and ambient black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Act I" and "Act II". 8 out of 10.
