Naxen are a band from Germany that plays a very atmospheric and depressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Descending Into Deeper Darkness" which will be released in may by Vendetta Records.
Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into a heavier direction while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can b e heard along with the vocals being mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the music also has its atmospheric moments. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as one track also introducing spoken words onto the album and synths can also be heard on a few songs, clear vocals are also added towards the end.
Naxen plays a style of black metal that is very aggressive, atmospheric and depressive sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness, sadness and pain themes.
In my opinion Naxen are a very great sounding atmospheric and depressive black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Our Souls Shall Fall Forever" and "Triumphant Tongue Of A Thousand Swords". 8 out of 10.
