Terra Relicta web magazine is offering you an exclusive video premiere of Akiavel's new video "Lady Of Death". Ready for some dark blackened death metal? Embrace the new French female-fronted dark death metal masters and their second full-length album Væ Victis! Akiavel equals blistering and crushing death metal madness and, with this new chapter, returns with relentless destruction and greater punishment than ever before.
Væ Victis, released on 23rd April, is a concept album that explores the darkest and most depraved spaces of the human psyche. Further evolving their sound, Akiavel takes a radical approach to their musical assault, consuming the listener with dizzying maelstroms of chaos. Væ Victis embodies the word “death”, putting forth an intrusive battery of blistering guitars, pummeling drums, and scathing vocals that culminate in one of the most robust death metal records the genre has seen yet.
The band comments about the song and the new video: ""Lady Of Death" is a song about Aileen Wuornos. I absolutely wanted to put her on our album because I find her fascinating. I have studied her story a lot, I have a lot of compassion for her despite the fact that she has murdered people. That's why the text isn't very violent or bloody, it's more based on how she feels. She had a lot of suffering in her. For the video clip we got closer to her psychological state. That's why we chose the actress who clearly embodied her conscience and the struggle within her."
Akiavel were formed in 2018 by vocalist Auré, guitar player Chris, drummer Butch, and bass player Jay. The band has always been quick to lay out the hits, releasing their first, self-titled, EP that December. Drawing inspiration from bands such as Morbid Angel, Deicide, Obituary, Dissection, Testament and Gojira, this showcased their trademark sound: a mix of groove, thrash, black and old-school death metal, with a touch of melodic riffs, heavily rhythmic and hardcore sounds. The debut full-length album, V, was a fast follow, released in February 2020. Now, a little bit more than one year later comes to the masterpiece Væ Victis. Buckle up for a devastating and dark musical ride through the minds of the most abhorrent humans to ever walk the earth. Metal at its best! Watch now the video "Lady Of Death"!
