Thyrathen are a band from Greece that plays a musical style they describe as being diachronic black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "ThanatOpis" which will be released on November 26th by Van Records.
Drum beats start off the album along with some spoken word parts and ritualistic chanting a few seconds later. Wind instruments can also be heard in certain sections of the recording while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Vocals are mostly high pitched yet angry sounding black metal screams while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them.
Clear vocals and choirs can also be heard on some of the tracks along with a great portion of the songs also being very long and epic in length as well as the music also adding in some ethnic touches at times, one song also introduces acoustic guitars onto the album and operatic female vocals can also b e heard briefly towards the end. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Ancient Hellenic Tragedies, Philosophy, Science, History, Poetry, Hedonism, Paganism, Spirituality, Mythology, Symbolism and Allegorical themes.
In my opinion Thyrathen are a very great sounding diachronic black metal band and if you are looking for something that is different, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "...of Mistress Earth And Zagreus" "Villa dei Papiri (The Philosophical Library)" "Transmogri(e)fication" and "Exodus - Catharsis". 8 out of 10.
