Aexylium are a band from Italy that has been featured before in this zine and plays a symphonic form of folk metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Myth of mankind" which will be released in May by Rockshot Records.
A very epic sounding intro starts off the album while also introducing keyboards onto the recording which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Symphonic orchestration and choirs can also be heard at times and folk instruments are also added on a lot of the tracks.
A lot of the harsh vocals also bring in black metal screams, death metal growls and angry shouts while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. Some of the songs also add in a small amount of acoustic guitars along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized.
Clear female and male vocals can also be heard on a few tracks along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them. When the music finally speeds up a decent amount of blast beats are also utilized and a couple of songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, spoken words are also introduced on a later song. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Celtic/Norse Mythology, Folk Tales and legends.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Aexylium and if you are a fan of symphonic folk metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Queen" "In Sorrow" "Wild Hunt" and "Eternity". 8 out of 10.
