Shine brightly over them,
Your worthless kin, creatures of sin
Shine brightly over them,
Rats with greed within, and souls so thin
The Dark Power Metal duo Hyloxalus from Edmonton, Canada has coming up with a new EP “Aposematic” The EP Features three new songs and a cover by Black Mirrors.
The EP opens with Voices from the Septic Hollow a beautiful opening it sounds more of your soul speaking to you, Amazingly set song, beautiful songwriting and the mellow vocals on this make it sound a whole lot better.
Steel, Blood & Irony, more of an operatic metal song, Vocals play the major part and the musical composition makes it perfect, makes the listener flow through the vocals and music.
10,000 Neolithic Ghosts, a song that takes us through the medieval ages, musically an amazing song I would say, good guitar progression has been kept in this album, more powerful with a touch of the black metal sounding makes it perfect for the listener. Vocals as always throughout the album has been amazing by Nina.
Finally it would not be fair to not mention about Moonstone a Black Mirrors Cover, I would say its done amazingly so close to the perfection of Black Mirrors itself. Good Cover in all its way
For music lovers who do not know about Hyloxalus, do check their new EP Aposematic which is coming out on July 28th, this is something you do not miss, musically there is not any flaw to any of the songs, it would be a new experience to feel the sound of metal in perfection.
