With this new chapter, the band marks a significant step forward, showcasing their artistic maturity and musical evolution. “Myth of Mankind” takes listeners on an epic journey filled with heavy riffs, cinematic orchestrations, and powerful vocal lines performed by the band’s new versatile frontman Sam, alongside the enchanting voice of Arianna Bellinaso.
As always, Aexylium’s signature elements are present: flute and violin melodies that bring a unique folk-inspired touch, blending perfectly with the band’s powerful metal sound.
The first single “Myth of Mankind” – along with its official music video – is available today on all digital platforms and YouTube.
This song marks a key moment for the Italian folk metal band, showcasing their evolution through a powerful mix of epic orchestrations, sharp riffs, and anthemic melodies.
“Myth of Mankind” perfectly captures the band’s distinctive sound, combining grand arrangements, dynamic guitar work, and delivering a track that is as cinematic as it is heavy—offering a fresh take on folk metal while staying true to its melodic roots.
The album was recorded by Davide Tavecchia at Twilight Studio, and features stunning artwork created by the renowned artist Gustavo Sazes (Arch Enemy, Machine Head, Amaranthe).
