Adeonesis – Paroxysm (Album – Advoxya Records)

Genre/Influences: Dark-Electro.
Format: Digital, CD.
Background/Info: Colombian duo Adeonesis last year struck back with their third full length album. Driven by the brothers Wilger and Ferry (who’s also involved in his solo-project Nohycit) this band doesn’t release a new work on a regular basis. There’s a hiatus of four years between each full length.
Content: Adeonesis are moving on the path of darkest Electro fields. The songs are driven by pumping rhythms and supported by overwhelming leads. The songs are sung in their Mother tongue and are extremely rough and hard to understand. A few tracks feature female vocals (backings) injecting a somewhat angelic touch to the work. One of the songs is featuring Stahlnebel & Black Selket.
+ + + : Adeonesis stands for (h)el(l)ectro although the female vocals featured at a few tracks are injecting an unexpected, classical and graceful touch. It might sound like a contract, but finally appears to be complementary with the harshness of the duo. This work is not just into merciless power, but still revealing more refined passages accomplished with subtle arrangements. I was impressed by some of the leads hanging over the composition.
– – – : The sound formula is somewhat repetitive and becomes a little bit predictable after a while. That’s a point I already noticed from previous albums.
Conclusion: This album comes directly from hell and will for sure please the darkest Electro souls.
Best songs: “Psychophony”, “Oblivion”, “Sendero Nocturno”.

About Adeonesis
Adeonesis is the dark-electro duo of the brothers Wilger and Ferry Humerez Rios. Side-Line’s earlier reviews describe the band as Colombian, while Discogs and the Advoxya Records Bandcamp page place it in Bolivia. Discogs lists self-released digital material from 2007 onward, including “Victims Of The Vampire” (2007), “Extincion” and “Genetic” (2008), “Survival Horror” (2009), the EPs “Darkness Within” and “Dementium” and the eighteen-track “Maimed And Mutilated” (2011), before the CD debut “The Rite Of Our Cross” on Advoxya Records in 2012.
The second album Post Mors Vitae (Advoxya Records, 2016), with guests Alien Vampires, Reaxion Guerrilla and Stahlnebel & Black Selket, was reviewed on Side-Line in December 2016, followed by the digital single “Oblivion” in 2017. Ferry also records solo as Nohycit, whose albums Anomico (2018) and En Exilio (2019) appeared on the same label. Adeonesis has remixed acts including Stahlnebel & Black Selket, Antibiosis, Nohycit and Acylum.
“Paroxysm” was released by Advoxya Records on 28 October 2020 on CD, as a double CD paired with “Killer Instinct”, and as a download. The fifteen tracks are “Intro The Possession”, “Psychophony”, “Vacio En Mi Alma”, “Dead Memories”, “Sick Death”, “Oblivion”, “Hell In My”, “Fear Of Terror”, “The Feeling Of Hatred”, “Wound Breakdown”, “Premonition”, “Day After Day”, “Sendero Nocturno” (feat. Lissa Noctem), “Falsche Freunde” (feat. Stahlnebel & Black Selket) and “Insane Resurrection”. Wilger wrote the music and lyrics and made the artwork; Ferry wrote music, sang and mastered the album at Deominus Studio. “Paroxysm” is the duo’s third album and its second Side-Line review.

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
