Exodikon are a band from Hungary that plays a melodic mixture of black, death and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Chaosphilia" which will b e released on march 29th by WormHoleDeath Records.
Acoustic guitars start off the album along with some synths a few seconds later before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction. When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard while the vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls.
Elements of thrash metal are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are added onto the album they are done in a very melodic style along with some of the tracks also being long and epic in length.
Exodikon plays a musical style that takes the melodic 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 struggle, bipolarity and acceptance of life's absurdity.
In my opinion Exodikon are a very great sounding melodic 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 "The Awakening Death(The psychics of The manipulated)" "The Lord Of Wounds(The Incubation Of Pain)" and "Unbtermensch(The Psychics Of Deceivers)". 8 out of 10.
