U.S.A's solo project Glyph has returned with a new recording which continues the raw and depressive style of black metal and this is a review of his album "Remind Us Of The Sun" which will be released in 2022 as a joint effort between Weregnome, Feral Age and BMC Productions.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. Vocals are mostly high pitched yet depressive black metal screams along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. The tracks also add in a good mixture of both old school and modern influences along with the music also capturing a very lo-fi atmosphere at times as well as the vocals also getting more diverse as the recording progresses, the whole recording also sticks to a heavier direction and melodic guitar solos and leads can also be heard briefly towards the end.
On this recording Glyph remains true to the raw, lo-fi and depressive style of black metal that he has established on previous releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Glyph and if you are a fan of raw and depressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Under The Above World" "Who Lies Dormant" and "Relics Of The Precursors". 8 out of 10.
