Aoidos are a band from Portugal that plays a very progressive form of blackened death metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Oizys" which was released by Nox Liberato Records.
Clean playing and synths start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the vocals bring in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard and the songs also bring in elements of groove metal.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while spoken words can also be heard on a couple of tracks along with the music also having its progressive moments. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style
Clear vocals are also added in certain sections of the album along with a few tracks also being long and epic in length. Some of the riffing also adds in touches of punk and thrash metal as well as some of the tracks also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, acoustic guitars can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover mental health themes.
In my opinion Aoidos are a very great sounding progressive blackened death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Thrall" "Trauma" "From the Surface Grate" and All! Whatever! Always!". 8 out of 10.
