Aegri Somnia are a band from Spain that plays a mixture of folk, avant garde, electronic, and black metal and this is a review of their 2017 album "Ad Augusta Per Augusta" which was released as a joint effort between Symbol Of Domination Productions and United by Chaos.
Folk instruments and operatic female vocals start off the album and after awhile synths along with elements of electronic music are added onto the recording along with some heavier and melodic guitar riffs and whispers are also utilized at times and they also mix in tribal and ritualistic elements in the heavier sections of the songs.
A small amount of percussion's can be heard at times along with some avant garde elements and when the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard an d they also add a heavy black metal influence onto the recording and the music also adds in touches of Spanish and Celtic pagan folk music and nature sounds are also added into certain sections of the recording and melodic guitar leads are also used briefly.
Aegri Somnia plays a musical style that takes folk, electronic music, avant garde and black metla and mixes them together to create something very original, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Spanish and cover Paganism themes.
In my opinion Aegri Somnia are a very great sounding mixture of folk, avant garde, electronic, and black metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Seran" "La Deshorna" "Ronda De Mayo" and "Veneno". 8 out of 10.
