From nowhere and beyond comes the dark and brutal sounds of Adon, a black/death/thrash project band that delivers relentless fury, chaotic harmony, and tarnished riffs. Since the release of the 2020 EP “Arkane” they have been hard at work to bring forth their self-titled full-length album, which will be released in April 2024. This impending doom is ushered in with the single “Axiom”, a song that tells the story of a person being stretched into nothingness upon entering a black hole, which the band expands on:
“Axiom is both our shortest song on the album and also the one that we believe encompasses all of the various styles of extreme metal we find that we imbue into our music, into one, blisteringly fast and relentless track. Heavily leaning toward agro black metal while still finding a way to add progressive elements to that core sound by throwing in a few twists and turns.”
Almost all the tracks on the album feature guests and “Axiom” has guest shredding by Justin Sakogawa (Warscythe, Splattered, ex-Defeated Sanity, Vile) and surreal flute by Ember Belladonna to enhance the atmosphere. As a whole, this album represents lifelong dreams. The pursuit of which escaped the duo as younger folk, but found proper creative footing as they matured. The album explores themes of war, power, death, apocalypse, cosmos, emergence, transformation, and repeating history, oftentimes through the lens of ancient Viking/Saxon-era imagery. Musically it finds its core in black metal though it couldn’t possibly only be described as that.
An exploration into dark fantasy; a true story of repeating history, Adon examines the fragility of existence through story and violent legend and supposes what happens next. This upcoming self-titled album due out on April 12, 2024, will be an auditory slaughter and is recommended for fans of Seth, Vitriol, and Havukruunu.
