Hailing from the American Carolinas, XAEL <\/strong>brings forth with them epic symphonic death metal like no other. Their new album entitled \u201cBloodtide Rising\u201d<\/strong> is a concept record rooted in a science fiction universe that XAEL<\/strong> revolves all their music around. The extreme symphonic release chronicles the journey of a character named Darmak, an immortal who is trying to find purpose in a chaotic and complex multiverse. 

XAEL <\/strong>was initially meant to be a personal project by drummer Joshua \u201cNassaru\u201d Ward, however, when other musicians showed interest it evolved into a full-fledged project with each member contributing equally towards this current full length and the band’s first album \u201cThe Last Arbiter\u201d (2018).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans of progressive and brutal metal along with sci-fi enthusiasts will take interest in what XAEL<\/strong> is doing. It\u2019s different, and listeners can get lost in the complex multiverse that they have conceived. Epic and extreme, it is recommended for fans of Septicflesh, Fleshgod Apocalypse, and Nile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
