Ashes For The Mute are a band from Denver, Colorado that plays an atmospheric mixture of black, doom and death metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Celestial Revelations" which was released as a joint effort between Reaping Scythe Records and Habilis Tapes.
Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams which also have their deeper moments.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while death metal growls are also utilized at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some elements of doom metal also being added into the slower sections of the songs.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them as well as some tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing and synths, one of the songs is also an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover cosmic and celestial themes.
In my opinion Ashes For The Mute are a very great sounding atmospheric mixture of black, doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Celestial Revelations" "Spatial Influx" "Temporal Shift" and "Labyrinthian Dream Vortex". 8 out of 1 0.
