4 stars French band AKROMA was formed back in 2003, and from their base in Nancy they have released four full length productions since their formation, all of them revolving around Biblical themes. "Apocalypse: Requiem" is the most recent of these, and was released through French Label Fantai'Zic Productions in 2017.

An extreme metal album revolving around the Catholic mass Requiem isn't the kind of album one encounters all that often, and in my view Akroma's intense, atmospheric laden and progressive take on this, complete with liberal amounts of orchestra arrangements and mood enhancing voice effects, is enjoyable and comes across as a high quality production. The vocals and relative sameness of the material will be somewhat divisive, but if you fancy bands that blends their extreme metal with liberal amounts of symphonic features then this latest album by Akroma is worth checking out.
