Against I are a band from Sweden that plays a very melodic and blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their 2024 ep "Destruction Lullaby" which was released by Twisted Flesh Recordings.
Melodic guitar solos and leads start off the ep along with some synths being added into the music at times. Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams while death metal growls can also be heard at times while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody and blast beats are also added into the faster sections of the songs.
Some of the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music is also very heavily rooted in the Swedish tradition mixed in with some modern touches, electronic beats can also be heard on a few tracks which also adds in elements of industrial rock and ebm.
Against I plays a musical style that takes a very melodic and blackened form of death metal and mixes it with electronic music to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Against I are a very great sounding mixture of melodic blackened death metal and electronic music and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dark Define" "Death Defined" and "Destruction Lullaby". 8 out of 10.
