ANZV is a Portuguese black/death metal band formed in Porto in 2019, known for forging a sound that blends the raw intensity of traditional black metal with atmospheric, ritualistic, and mythological depth. Their music channels unrelenting aggression and towering atmosphere, creating immersive sonic landscapes that evoke ancient rites, cosmic dread, and confrontations with the unknown. The band takes its name from Anzû, a mythic storm-bird figure from Mesopotamian mythology — a fire-breathing, lion-headed eagle associated with divine storms and the primordial forces of chaos — a fitting symbol for their fierce and enigmatic sound. Recorded and performed with seasoned musicians from Porto’s metal scene, ANZV’s music balances ferocious riffing, ritualistic ambience, and immersive intensity. Live, the band embraces a sensory, almost ceremonial presence that reinforces their thematic depth and atmospheric focus. Read more on Last.fm.
