Azketem - Azketem (2024)
Azketem’s self-titled album, Azketem, presents a polished and atmospheric take on black metal, blending expansive guitars, commanding vocals, and authoritative drumming to create an immersive soundscape. The album shifts from haunting ambient intros to powerful and bombastic tracks like "Schwarze Schwäne" and "Nordtor," showcasing a balance of ethereal and dark elements. Reviews highlight the improved production quality and the intricate melding of post-rock and gothic influences, though some critique its emotional flatness and lack of dynamic variety (Distorted Sound Magazine) (Home | Soundscape) (Spirit of Metal). Overall, Azketem is a compelling step forward in atmospheric black metal, with room for further exploration in future works.
