Surachai are a 1 man band from Chicago, Illinois that plays a mixture of post black metal, progressive and noise and this is a review of his 2011 album "To No Avail" which was released by Handshake Inc.
The album starts out with some ambient noise sounds and distorted power electronics and a couple of minutes later fast post black metal guitar riffs and screams are added into the music along with some crust elements and you can also hear a decent amount of dark sounding melodies, guitar leads, and blast beats being thrown into the music.
As the album progresses it starts mixing slower and atmospheric parts in with the faster material that is present on this recording as well as bringing back in elements of noise and the music starts going into a more experimental direction while also going back to a heavier direction at times as well as utilizing a mixture of both fast and slow parts and this project has a very original sound to it and I can see it appealing to a lot of post black metal fans and the album closes with a dark sounding violins being mixed in with some avant garde sounds.
Song lyrics cover dark themes, while the production has a very dark and raw sound with both of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion Surachai are a very great sounding mixture of post black metal, progressive, noise and ambient and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this project. RECOMMENDED BUY.
