One-man black metal bands can tend to be hit or miss a lot of the time, as being a sole vision can be something of a diamond in the raw, but in the case of Mavorim, it is a not just a home run, but a grand slam. Taking notes from punkier bands, this unique pairing of black metal and ambient is one of the most interesting things to come out of the country in the last decade. Building a sonic soundcape with blistering drums, cascading chords, punky rhythms and putting it side by side with dungeon synth-esque insipired ambient parts and at times almost post-punk inspired keys, it makes for a stunning finish to such an aggressive album. With no album truly alike it, Axis Mundi stands by itself, a monumental genre defining record.
For Fans of: Absurd, Der Tod Und Die Landsknechte, Totenwache
