AKHLYS - The Dreaming (Review)

 
Original and complex metal. Actually very good if you let the sound lead you into this chaotic but controlling universe a new world will slowly open, only for those who are patient and dare to enter the realm AKHLYS create on ‘Dreaming’ if you like bands like Aborym and Mysticum you will probably like this.

I honestly couldn’t stop listening to’The Dreaming’ before it was done because I wondered if they had the same views as myself and I was right about that one.

I’m very amazed by their use of synths and sounds here. It’s well done and executed for the listener to learn how to destroy their own minds while listening to the album which is more deadly than witchcraft. I had a poetic experience to it. You will not be the same when these guys are done.
It’s like magic and it’s a deep and powerful story to digest and it slowly makes you feel better about yourself and the way it will be.

It’s quite interesting and original but it demands a lot from the listeners and it’s surely not a party album unless it’s a closed one filled with psychedelic stuff and there should probably be a “safe place“ as many people will have to listen to happy tunes after running scared away from AKHLYS - The Dreaming as they can’t believe they were able to walk into these wasteland of vast lands and cold world war with steel metal and hell truly appears to be a good way to go back to.

An experience on the borderline of a dying world is what I see. The fall of civilization as we know it is what they create and this is the darkest part, so you better listen to the entire album or you’ll end up at your mom lap crying. 

This is darkness in beauty or beauty in darkness. You decide what portrait you want to paint and then you will see what you gotta do with your life.

There are some moments on ‘The Dreaming’ that are indescribable beautiful and there are some moments of indescribable darkness.
It’s a beautiful dream for those who catch the drift.
The only question I have is with I listen to it a lot, or is it just a one time experience?
Only time will tell..
Listeners decide what they wanna give it..

I recommend you to listen to it all, but this is not your everyday album.

Try before you buy or buy and try...
