Metal magazines work like this: labels give money and magazines give exposure to bands in exchange, everything is based on money. In other words, many talented bands are completely ignored if they don't pay. This is the reason nobody would know Axamenta some years ago, when internet was not that popular and magazines were more powerful than today. Musically now, the Belgian combo delivers an excellent concept album that combines the grandiose sound of Dimmu Borgir with the staccato riffs of Soilwork and the atmospheric synths and technical guitar parts of Evergey. The final result is more than satisfying, this album is a vast source of musical ideas, orchestration techniques and epic melodies.
