█ VEII features 4 long tracks and marks the passing █
█ over the two decades milestone for the Romanian █
█ band that features members with extensive █
█ experience gained also from past or current █
█ activity in bands like Negura Bunget, Ordinul █
█ Negru, Syn Ze Sase Tri, Kultika or Katharos XIII. █
█ Most of VEII was recorded, mixed and mastered by █
█ Attila Lukinich in DSPro Studios, with drums and █
█ keyboards being recorded in Consonance Studio by █
█ Sol Faur (Dordeduh). The artwork and design are █
█ signed by Alexandru Das. █

█ --- █
█ █
█ Argus Megere are a Romanian black metal band and █
█ this is their latest album. █
█ Argus Megere play a combination of second wave and █
█ atmospheric black metal, with long songs and █
█ plenty of depth and texture. █
█ Across the lengthy playing times there are various █
█ different moods and feelings explored. Different █
█ paces, ideas, and forms of blackened assault are █
█ used by the band to good effect too, and the album █
█ has a lot of content to engage the listener. █
█ The album is awash with well-arranged keyboards, █
█ providing a layered tapestry of shading to add to █
█ the blackened music. █
█ A variety of different types of guitar styles are █
█ used in the songs, from slowly drawn-out paces, to █
█ some quite catchy riffs, to ultra-blasting █
█ extremity. The band also veer from cold █
█ misanthropic iciness to colourful melodic sections █
█ with ease. █
█ The vocals are equally as diverse. The main █
█ delivery is composed of blackened screams that are █
█ performed about as well as any in the style. These █
█ are offset by some very bold and confident clean █
█ singing that really forces the listener to pay █
█ attention. Deep growls also appear on occasion, █
█ sounding especially good. █
█ Argus Megere have a lot going on in these songs. I █
█ like how they can be playing something harsh and █
█ aggressive at one moment, with blast beats and █
█ dark screams, only to switch to being grand, epic, █
█ and brightly melodic the next, with epic cleans █
█ and upbeat keyboards. █
█ The mix of frosted blackened hatred, colourful █
█ orchestral black metal, and plenty of atmospheric █
█ moments has made for an extremely engrossing, █
█ satisfying, and pleasing listen. Make sure you █
█ give VEII a spin, as itÆs a very enjoyable piece █
█ of sophisticated blackened art. █
