AKIAVEL Shares Live Performance From Metal Injection’s Slay at Home Fest
29th June 2021 0 By Jon DeauxFrench Death Metal phenoms AKIAVEL gave a stellar live performance as part of Metal Injection’s Slay at Home festival finale! The set aired Saturday, June 19th, and the full clip of the performance can now be seen
AKIAVEL is currently supporting their latest full-length, ‘Vae Victis,’ which was released in April 2021 to critical acclaim.Â
“2021 could be the year for Akiavel, then, a group of French upstarts who are keen on leaning into the genreâs heavier side (think: later At the Gates and Carcass). On their latest single, âFrozen Beauties,â the band expertly weave Amott-worthy riffs and composition with roaring, dynamic vocals, and the result is hard to turn away from: this bandâs got something.” –Â MetalSucks
âAkiavel has just hit very hard with “Vae Victisâ, which, for yours truly, will certainly place itself in my annual top 10. Everything is meticulously thought out, the whole is very efficient and shows flawless dynamism. The rhythmic changes without incessance, the riffing is murderous and the rhythm section acts as a nuclear power station, without forgetting the dark vocals of AurĂ©. Here, there is no room for weariness, “Vae Victis ” is a warhead which will explode everything in its path and which will leave no survivors…18/20â – Spirit Of Metal
âVae Victisâ is a giant of a Death Metal album! AKIAVEL deliver a mix of modern melodic Death Metal with epic melodies and traditional Death Metal as well as Thrash Metal elements. The album is fast, brutal, dark, and an upgrade on their debut album. With âVae Victisâ, AKIAVEL develop their own Death Metal sound further and âVae Victisâ gives them a distinctive uniqueness and own identity as a band.” –Â Metal Temple
âBottom line? This is a very impressive albumâŠâ – Sleeping Village Reviews
âVae Victis’Â can be streamed, downloaded or purchased HERE.
