Against I are a band from Sweden that has been featured before in this zine and plays a very melodic and blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Anti Life" which will be released in march by Twisted Flesh Recordings.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while the solos and leads also add in a great amount of melody. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls along with some synths also being utilized at times and black beats are also added into the faster sections of the songs.
Spoken words can also be heard at times while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Dark soundscapes are also added in between a few tracks along with one song also introducing acoustic guitars onto the album, tremolo picking can also be heard in some of the fast riffing as well as the album also mixing in some elements of electronic music and samples.
On this recording Against I add more electronic music elements in their melodic style of blackened death metal to create a very heavy yet modern sound. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark and hateful themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Against I and if you are a fan of melodic blackened death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Built To Destroy" "Tempel Of Greed" "Sacrifice" and "All Hope Is Gone". 8 out of 10.
