Anifernyen are a band from Portugal that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Ex Tenebris Lvx" which will be released in April by Ethereal Sound Works.
A very fast and brutal sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the vocals also add in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Whispers and spoken words can also be heard on a couple of tracks while the album also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with a few songs also adding in clear singing and clean playing, synths are also added on the closing track.
On this recording Anifernyen continue to expand on the melodic mixture of black and death metal that they have introduced on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album based upon Arturo Perez-Revete's "The Club Dumas".
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Anifernyen and if you are a fan of melodic black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "None Shall Be Denied" "Frusta" "Disciple Surpasses The Master" and "From Darkness Comes Light". 8 out of 10.
