Aduanten are a band from Austin, Texas that plays an atmospheric and melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 ep "Apocryphal Voice" which was released by Nameless Grave Records.
A very heavy and melodic sound starts off the ep while the vocals bring in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams. At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with a couple of tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing and 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 while synths are also utilized at times. When the music speeds up a small amount of blast beats and tremolo picking can also be heard along with the recording also having its progressive moments and most of the recording sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction.
Aduanten plays a musical style that takes the atmospheric, melodic and progressive forms of black and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover decay and despair with profound sorrow.
In my opinion Aduanten are a very great sounding atmospheric, melodic and progressive mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Cerulean Dream" and "The Weakening Sovereign". 8 out of 10.
