Guitar player, Chris, comments: “I chose these two songs because they show the variety in Akiavel. ‘Cold’ features a more thrash style and I love the speed and melody, with the break at the end. ‘Medium’ has a very special melody and has more of a djent style to it. They show that we aren’t simply death metal, we like to play around with a lot of different styles.
“I love playing on Darius guitars because each one is custom; handmade. No two are exactly the same and that is very special to me. That, and the amazing sound of course!”
Chris uses the following gear:
Custom Darius Guitars featuring Custom Dominger Pickups
Skull Strings Artist Series
Tortex Standard Pick 1.14mm
Kemper Profiler Stage
Both V and Vae Victis are available on their website, along with more merch: http://Akiavel.com/shop
