Portland, Oregon's solo project Mizmor has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of black, doom metal and ambient and this is a review of his 2022 ep "Wit's End" which will be released on January 14th by Gilead Media.
Clean playing starts off the ep while spoken word parts can also be heard briefly before going into a heavier doom metal direction. Both of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody and the vocals are mostly screams that also add in elements of black metal.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the riffs also have their dissonant moments along with the guitar leads being done in a very dark yet melodic style when they are utilized. The second track is an ambient orientated song which also adds in some choirs and clean vocals and the whole ep sticks to a slower direction.
On this recording Mizmor takes black, doom metal and ambient style soundscapes to create a very heavy, slow yet diverse recording. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover lost faith, the disenchantment of modern society and existential dread.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Mizmor and if you are a fan of black, doom metal and ambient, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Wit's End". 8 out of 10.
