Greece's Actus Septem have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a blackened from of doom metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "The Bleeding" which will be released on July 10th by Fatres Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the slower sections of the songs also bring in elements of doom metal. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the vocals being mostly grim sounding black metal screams and some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Clear singing is also added into certain sections of the album while the faster sections of the recording also bring in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Some of the tracks also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the riffing also adding in melodies at times, clean playing can also be heard on a couple of songs.
On this recording Actus Septem goes for a very modern style of blackened doom metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Anthropocentrism and Anti Religion themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Actus Septem and if you are a fan of blackened doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Dark Companion" "Before One's Life" and "Transmitted With Evil". 8 out of 10.
