This is another review of a recording from Heron which continues their hybrid of black, progressive and doom metal with the ep being self released in 2013 and called "Ritual".
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being thrown into the music at times, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars, as for the organ it is only used briefly on one song and they bring a psychedelic feeling to the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that use some raw and primitive sounding elements as well as some doom metal influences, melody and clean playing which brings in the progressive elements, while the lead guitars are very melodic sounding black metal guitar leads.
Vocals a re mostly grim sounding black metal screams with some deeper vocals and spoken word parts, while the lyrics cover darkness and nature themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound with one of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Heron and if you are a fan of black metal mixed with some doom and progressive elements, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "A Cold Wind Blows & Oculus". RECOMMENDED BUY.
