The First Three Sins of As Above So Below
Let’s start by discussing the first three sins of Acherontia Styx and their single, As Above So Below
The First Sin, The Strings/Keys: Consists of an underlying groove with a blackened feel of hate and evil. The Second Sin, The Vocals: This involves Dinenthal on lead vocals, providing a more of a blackened vibe within the vocal work. The Third Sin—The Percussions: This delves into the vast world of sick and hell-bent drumming.
The Fourth Sin: Overall Discussion:
Evil music filled with dark brutalisation and blistering, extreme adrenaline
As soon as the listener presses the play button, it welcomes the listener to a five-minute brutal, unforgiving, blistering-extreme song.
As Above, So Below, is another song that’s a hungry cannibalistic that will consume your soul while tearing your eardrums apart with a sound that is more outrageously evil (than the last single) music that delivers fruit of art devilmanship.
Jake‘s drum work delivers a fast, sick-brutal (bone-crushing) double dose of heavy, thundering, hell-bent drumming and countless blast beats. The sinister vocals provided by Dinenthal gave the single a blackened atmosphere.
Adam and Paul‘s guitar/bass devilmanship consists of an underlying groove reminiscent of the early Lamb Of God/Grunge. It has a blackened feel of hate and evil with nightmarish undertones, deep dark and full of hooks and overdose of melodic (fast-epic) riffage, with ravaging pickings of the bass.
In conclusion, the writing and composition of As Above, So Below are energetic/substantial masterpieces of outrageously evil music filled with dark brutalisation and blistering, extreme adrenaline from start to finish.
