Naxen is a black metal band from Germany known for their melancholic and atmospheric sound rooted in the traditions of European black metal, yet presented with a cinematic sense of scope. Their music emphasizes mood and texture, with long-form compositions that ebb and flow between mournful introspection and blast-beaten fury.

Their 2020 debut full-length Towards the Tomb of Times showcased a mastery of tension and dynamics, earning praise for its emotional weight and immersive songwriting. Naxen’s work is marked by a careful balance of melody and aggression, offering listeners a journey into themes of death, decay, and the transcendent beauty found within darkness.
