Acherontia Styx, As Above So Below Review: This review will evaluate every aspect of the album, from its intricate musical composition to its production. Our analysis will provide valuable insights to help you determine if this album is worth adding to your collection.

The First Three Sins, The Summary

he 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

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 an overdose of melodic (fast-epic) riffs, 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.

Now the single has come to an end. We want to give a shoutout to Acherontia Styx for letting us review their single As Above, So Below. Now, we’re going to wrap it up by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.

The Fifth Sin, The Memorabilia

For us, As Above So Below, is a another fruit of art, laced with lotions in baskets of extraordinary devilmanship, complex music structure, and a solid and composed song.

The Sixth Sin, The Artwork

It is intriguing, depicting a tomb or vault and a crypt for a child. This creates a contrasting image of both angelic and demonic elements.
