BLAXEM - Ethereal

Blaxem are a devastatingly heavy modern metal band from Chile, a beacon of light in dark times accompanied by a distinct heavy feel that rings true. The band premiered a new music video for their technically brutal new single entitled "Grey Summit" on April 1st, 2025.

The music video was directed by Guille Malatesta while the band was on tour in Buenos Aires, Argentina. “Grey Summit” is the second single & music video taken from their upcoming album Ethereal which will be released on May 16, 2025 via Eclipse Records. The album was produced by Dann Hidalgo and Guille Malatesta, engineered & mixed by Dann Hidalgo, and mastered by Hakeen Mishea.

"This is a very special video because of the footage shown” says vocalist/guitarist Dann Hidalgo. “This is a compilation of memories that we created in Bueno Aires. This city is probably one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever had the pleasure of performing in. It was also the hottest summer we have ever experienced so it was a difficult task to move around with so much of our gear. But most certainly the people, the culture and the city were most welcoming and very warm. We are so grateful for the opportunity and this video represents those feelings."

Blaxem serve up a raucous monster-mash of hard driving burn n’ crunch with their new EP Ethereal. The album is amazingly uplifting in not only the unadulterated rawness of the musical presentation, but in its passion and power. More specifically, track to track, listeners will notice non-linear, clever song writing chock full of twists, turns, and satisfying surprises as well as lead guitar performances that would bend our hearts to the breaking point and dazzle our senses with such intricate, power-shredding that one stands amazed that so many sweet notes could fit in one measure.

As for overall theming, the band seems to illustrate world-culture as a pilgrimage of starless gloom through which we overcome our lack of purpose and direction through truth, strength, and empathy. That said, listeners will rejoice in this glorious journey through the underworld of gut-wrenching riffs and long shadowed caverns, thunderous drums and old stone corridors lit only by the dim and damp glow of torches flickering along the stories of the shattered world written on the walls in dark blood. The bass guitar is lethal phantom, banging in the attic, knocking about in the tool shed, pounding under the cellar stairs, and the growl vocal rips open your soul, raising haunted angels from the red mist to sing you a death knell.

Ethereal features cover art designed by Hakeen Mishea, and it is scheduled for release on May 16, 2025.
