Avdagata are a band from Sweden that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording goes for a very melodic form of blackened death metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "The Apocalyptic Aeon" which will be released on November 29th by At Dawn Records.
Acoustic guitars start off the album before going into a very fast and brutal direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls while tremolo picking is also added into some of the faster riffing.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style mixed in with some old school extreme metal aggression while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Synths can also be heard in the background at times along with one track also introducing female vocals onto the album, a later song also adds in a brief use of clean playing as well as some spoken words also being utilized briefly
On this recording Avdagata expands on their melodic style of blackened death metal which they introduced on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and Swedish and cover an apocalyptic future.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Avdagata and if you are a fan of melodic blackened death metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "As Humanity Falls" "The Apocalyptic Aeon" "Regnum In Tenebris" and "Luciferian". 8 out of 10.
