An-Xul are a band from Italy that plays a very occult and satanic form of black metal and this is a review of their self titled 2024 album which was released by Chaos Records.
A very dark sounding ritual starts off the album along with some clean playing before going into a very fast and raw black metal direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing and the vocals are done in a deep growling style.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. A lot of the music is also very heavily rooted in the old school era mixed in with a more modern take on the genre along with some synths also being utilized on a couple of tracks.
High pitched screams are also added in certain sections of the album as well as the recording also having its atmospheric moments along with one song also being an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism and The Destruction Of Humanity.
In my opinion An-Xul are a very great sounding occult and satanic black metal band, and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Descent Through A Ghostly Maelstrom" "Follow The Left Hand Path" and :Eternal Flame". 8 out of 10.
