Ain Sof Aur are a band from Brazil that plays an occult form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Theos-Vel-Samuel" which will b e released in march by I, Voidhanger Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. You can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a lot of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music also adds a more modern approach to the genre. Dissonant melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the vocals also bringing in a more growling death metal approach.
At times the harsh vocals also add in more of an angry and grim black metal approach along with the album also having its technical moments. When spoken words are utilized they also give the music more of a ritualistic touch.as well as some keyboards and clean playing also being used briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Left Hand Path, Chaos-Gnosticism and Draconian Currents.
In my opinion Ain Sof Aur are a very great sounding occult black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACK "II", 8 out of 10.
