Lenax are a band from Tennessee that plays a very old school and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 ep "Purity".
Heavy riffing and melodic guitar solos and leads start off the ep while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams.
Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Melodies are also added onto some of the guitar riffing along with the music also adding in some modern touches at times, spoken word parts can also be heard on a couple of tracks and one song also adds in a brief use of clean playing as well as some death metal growls also being utilized briefly towards the end.
Lenax plays a style of black metal that is very aggressive, melodic and old school in the mid 90's tradition mixed in with a more modern approach to the genre, The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism and the writings of H.P Lovecraft.
In my opinion Lenax are a very great sounding melodic and old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Shrouded Sight" and "Of Greater Forces". 8 out of 10.
