Anomie are a band from Chile that plays a very atmospheric and progressive mixture of post black and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 ep "Virtus Pereundi" which was released by Underworld Echoes.
Synths and clean playing start off the album while also bringing in elements of shoegaze which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams mixed in with some death metal growls. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the music also having its progressive and atmospheric moments.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with a couple of the tracks also being very long and epic in length. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic post metal style, on some of the tracks the music goes into more of an experimental direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover philosophy, life, death and abstract themes.
In my opinion Anomie are a very great atmospheric and progressive sounding mixture of post black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Fata Morgana" and "Silencer". 8 out of 10.
