Vaevon are a band from New Zealand that plays a bestial mixture of war, black and death metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Spiritual Nullification" which will be released on April 20th by Gutter Prince Cabal.
A very dark and apocalyptic synth orientated sounding intro starts off the album while clean playing can also be heard briefly before going into a heavier direction. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking, blast beats and war metal elements can be heard which also gives the recording more of a r aw feeling.
Vocals are a mixture of high pitched black metal screams and bestial growls while the songs also add in a good balance between slow, mid paced and fast parts. Most of the riffing is also done on power chords which also adds to the brutality on the recording along with the interludes also adding in elements of ambient before returning to a heavier direction, melodic riffing can also be heard briefly.
Vaevon plays a musical style that is very heavily rooted in the classic tradition of war and bestial black/death metal as well as adding in a more modern approach to the genre. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover spirituality, death and apocalyptic themes.
In my opinion Vaecon are a very great sounding bestial mixture of war, black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Mantra Vitalis" "Death Proclamation" and "Shadow Dissolution". 8 out of 10.
