Aexylium: presentato il secondo singolo da “The Fifth Season”

Comunicato stampa:

I symphonic folk metallers Aexylium hanno pubblicato il video di The Fifth Season, title track dal secondo disco della band italiana in uscita il prossimo 29 Ottobre via Rockshots Records.

Commenta la band il nuovo singolo:
‘The Fifth Season è la title track dell’album, ed esprime attraverso il testo e le musiche un’iniziale inquietudine, seguita poi da un sentimento di speranza e rinascita nel finale. La canzone inoltre riporta i nostri dubbi riguardo il futuro, considerando anche l’impatto dell’uomo sul pianeta.”

AEXYLIUM – The Fifth Season (Official Music Video)

Accostando strumenti tradizionali (flauto, violino, bouzouki) al symphonic metal moderno, il nuovo album degli Aexylium segue il debut del 2018 Tales From This Land e l’EP del 2016 The Blind Crow“. Tales From This Land ha superato i  120.000 streams su Spotify, e il singolo  “Revive the Village è entrato nella classifica dei 200 singoli metal su Apple Music Germania.

Gli Aexylium hanno reinterpretato in chiave folk metal i temi principali delle colonne sonore di Game of Thrones e Vikings.
Fin dalla formazione del progetto avvenuta nel 2014, la band italiana si è esibita in rinomati festival come Dumeltica, International Music Festival, Montelago Celtic Festival, Malpaga Folk & Metal, Rock Inn Somma, Druidia e Strigarium, condividendo il palco con Elvenking, Wind Rose, Nervosa, Furor Gallico, Temperance e altri. Nonostante la pandemia e le restrizioni, nell’Agosto 2020 gli Aexylium sono stati scelti dalla città di Milano per esibirsi allo storico Castello Sforzesco.

Il nuovo album The Fifth Season è un concreto passo in avanti verso la crescita e la maturità musicale, ed è formato da ballate, riff taglienti, orchestrazioni complesse e brani più dark ispirati alla mitologia Norrena. L’album include anche special guest vocali come Samuele Faulisi (Atlas Pain), Arianna Bellinaso e i membri del Coro della Facoltà di Musicologia.
L’album è stato registrato ai Twilight Studio da Davide Tavecchia con l’artwork di Jan Yrlund (Manowar, Testament, Korpiklaani)

“The experience of hearing ‘Tales from this Land’ is a wonderful voyage through time and music at the same time” – Metal Temple (9/10)

“They just need to keep honing the direction, it’s on the right track for sure! I’m not even a big fan of folk metal, but I just became a fan of Aexylium!” – BucketList (9/10)

“A significantly well done, fun and excellent debut album if you love this genre of music” – Metalwave (80/100)

“‘Tales from this Land’ is not afraid of foreign competition and shows, together with a handful of CDs released in recent months, great talent” – Mister Folk (8/10)

 “The first song of their concert is unmistakable for those who have followed this TV series, I’m obviously talking about ‘Game of Thrones’ and is welcomed by an ovation from the crowd, that is getting bigger under the stage … They are eight on the stage and the energy they spread is perceived and celebrated several times by the horn sounds among the crowd” – Malpaga 2016 live report by Metalpit

“Aexylium from Varese, a band that I personally had never listened live and that turned out to be a pleasant discovery … The crowd is jumping, and even though their show is at the hottest time of the day, the audience for them is consistent, and it is undeniable that they appreciate the exhibition” – Malpaga 2016 by Suoni Distorti Magazine
