Russia's solo project Astarium has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an ambient, atmospheric, old school and symphonic style of black metal with some neo-classical touches and this is a review of his 2022 single "Furies" which was released as a joint effort between NitroAtmosfericum Records and Masters Of Kaos.
Ritualistic chants and dark soundscapes start off the track which is also over 16 minutes in length before going into a heavier direction. When synths are added into the music they also b ring in some ambient, neo-classical and symphonic elements while the song also has its atmospheric moments.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while spoken word parts can also be heard briefly. When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the song more of a raw feeling along with the vocals being mostly grim sounding black metal screams.
A lot of the music is also very heavily influenced by the 90's era along with the song also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some of t he drum b eats also being programmed. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Occultism and UFO themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding track from Astarium and if you are a fan of ambient, atmospheric, old school and symphonic black metal with some neo-classical touches, you should check out this single. 8 out of 10.
