Italian folk metal band Aexylium proudly returns with their third studio album, Myth of Mankind out now via Rockshots Records. With this new chapter, the band takes a decisive step forward in both style and substance offering their most mature and focused work to date.
Formed in 2014, Aexylium has always stood out for its ability to merge the raw intensity of modern metal with the warm, evocative tones of traditional instruments building a sound that is both powerful and atmospheric. With Myth of Mankind the band pushes that blend even further, refining every aspect of their songwriting and production while exploring deeper, more introspective themes. The album moves away from the more mythological narratives of the past, instead embracing abstract reflections on the human condition, identity and the complexity of existence in the modern world.
Musically, Myth of Mankind is an intense yet melodic journey, built on technical guitar work, immersive orchestration and the interplay between aggression and elegance. The album also marks a turning point in the band’s lineup, introducing vocalist Sam Biganzoli whose expressive and multifaceted vocal range brings new emotional depth and narrative strength. Alongside him, drummer Alberto Mezzanotte (ex-Frozen Crown, Nekomata, Apple Sauce) and guitarist Luca Perrone (founder of Apple Sauce) contributed to a renewed creative energy that flows through every track on the record.
To celebrate the album’s release, Aexylium has also unveiled the official music video for the track “Hexe”. Scroll down to watch it.
“Hexe” perfectly represents the spirit of the album—a high-impact, rhythm-driven song that combines rich melodic lines with a powerful vocal performance from Sam Biganzoli delivering intensity and momentum without ever losing the folk essence that defines the band’s DNA. Visually and sonically, the video amplifies the track’s energy and emotion, offering a powerful introduction to the album’s vision.
