Mutatis Mutandis is a latin phrase that means something like “with things changed that should be changed” and it welcomes renovation, be it of ideas or customs. Kevel is a band from Greece that is downright heavy, but also dynamic. It reminds us of the monolithic textures from bands like Meshuggah, while wandering through more cosmic sounds, without losing its massive and colossal roots.
Kevel can conjure within 6
long and complex themes the genesis of several metal subgenres like sludge, stoner
and doom. The vocals are on the spot and fit beautifully in the intricate and
progressive melodies that do not lose their bestial edge. The voyage is cosmical
but never quite peaceful or ethereal. We go across extreme boundaries of
emotions and moods, never stagnant and always changing. The lyrics appeal to a
cosmic consciousness, existential dilemmas and how absurd can be our condition
of simple earthlings and if we have the time to reflect there is no egomania
that can resist the evidence that we are nothing more than miniscule dots in
the immensity of the universe.
Kevel is a combative and bellicose introspective kind of sound with an existential sensibility that will captivate fans of heavy metal.
