Spain's Akouphenom have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of black, doom and death metal with elements of noise and this is a review of their 2023 album "Death-Chaos-Void" which was released by Unorthodox Emanations.
Field recordings and synth start off the album before going into a heavier direction while most of the tracks are very long and epic in length. When the music speeds up a lot of blast b eats can be heard along with the vocals also bringing in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams.
Melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing while the solos and leads are also done in a very chaotic yet melodic style. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the tremolo picking in the faster riffing also giving the songs more of a raw feeling.
Elements of doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs along with the music also having its brutal moments as well as some of the more blackened vocals going into more of a grim direction at times, noises can also be heard in certain sections of the recording and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the three ruling powers of existence, death, chaos and the void, leaders, kings and conquerors for all eternity.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Akoupheenom and if you are a fan of black, doom and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Devourer" and "Death-Chaos-Void". 8 out of 10.
