Aksaya – Kepler

Limited to 666 pieces and released through Satanath Records, Aksaya`s new output „Kepler“ has more to offer than only some devil worshipping music. Aksaya combine melodic black metal elements with a modern death metal touch, songwriting as well as production wise. Furious blasts, atmospheric parts typical for French black metal bands. The vocals are often doubled to add more variation brutality to the songs. Here and there some samples have been thrown in for variety and as a good add for the bit colder, modern sound. I really enjoyed the melodies and the focus on atmosphere instead of speed and brutality. Give it a listen if you like atmospheric, melodic laden black/death with a modern hint. (DPF)
