This is quite an older release but I really considered that fitted Music Extreme´s spectre and decided to include this review. Eblis is a black metal band full of keyboards and atmospheric parts that combine perfectly with the most aggressive and raw parts. There are many blast beats parts but they are combined with dark keyboards progressions and many changes in speed that are combined with cleaner vocals (harmonized with the most extreme ones). This guys use heavily bells sound to give some darker twist to their music (check "Ceremony (Dance Macabre)"). The best thing here are the melodies that are achieved through the keyboards and the guitars and that give originality to Eblis music. Black metallers will surely like Eblis.

Favorite tracks: "Ceremony...", "Travel through Eternity" and "Rite of Pass Away"
