Finland's solo project Druadan Forest has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a mixture of dungeon synth and ambient and this is a review of his album 2022 "Portals" which will be released on January 28th by Werewolf Records.
Dark soundscapes start off the album along with some ambient style synths which also add in a variety of many different sounding keys. Elements of dungeon synth can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording along with the music also having its cosmic moments and most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
All of the music sticks to an instrumental direction while each song also sounds very different from each other. One of the songs also introduces field recordings into the music along with the music also showing some influences from the 90's era as well as getting very atmospheric sounding at times.
On this recording Druadan Forest stays away from the black metal elements of previous releases and focuses more on a mixture of cosmic ambient and dungeon synth as well as keeping everything instrumental while the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Druadan Forest and if you are a fan of cosmic ambient and dungeon synth, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "In Between Transcendence And True Endless Sleep" and "Paint My Demons Black". 8 out of 10.
