Asenblut are a band from Germany that plays a melodic mixture of black, death and viking metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Entfesselt" which will be released in August by Massacre Records.
\
A very hard and heavy sound starts off the album while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats. Vocals bring in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams along with the riffs also adding in a lot of melody and the music also adds in a lot of Swedish influences.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with one song also adding in viking back up shouts.
Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly, tremolo picking can also be heard in some of the faster riffing and a couple of track also adds in a brief use of orchestral sounds. and clean playing. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover Vikings, Paganism and Mythology themes.
In my opinion Asenblut are a very great sounding melodic mixture of black, death and viking metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Das Ende der Gotter" "Wie ein Berserker" "Hexengericht" and "Nox Nostra Est". 8 out of 10.
