Greece's solo project Apocalyptic Leaders has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an atmospheric, melodic and raw form of black metal and this is a review of his 2024 album "Exists In Chaos" which will be released on June 21st by Rat Covenant.
A very heavy and aggressive sound starts off the album while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. 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 and the recording also add in a lot of crust elements.
Vocals are mostly grim black metal screams while some of the songs are also very long and epic in length. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic post metal style along with the music also having its atmospheric moments and clean playing is also added on the closing track.
On this recording Apocalyptic leaders brings out a very raw, modern, melodic and atmospheric style of black metal. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover chaos themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Apocalyptic Leaders and if you are a fan of atmospheric, melodic and raw black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "II" "V" and "VIII". 8 out of 10.
