Akantophis are a band from Germany that plays a very dissonant and atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "Erneuerung" which will be released in April.
A very distorted and atmospheric sound starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams.
Death metal growls can also be heard at times while the riffs also add in a lot of dissonant touches and melody. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some spoken words also being used in certain sections of the album as well as some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, clean playing is also utilized at times.
Akantophis plays a style of black metal that is very modern, atmospheric and dissonant sounding as well as adding in a touch of death metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics realistic themes.
In my opinion Akantophis are a very great sounding dissonant and atmospheric black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Spot" "Renewal" and "See Me". 8 out of 10.
