Narrative are a band from Germany that plays a very aggressive and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of t heir album "Servants Of The Prophets, Martyrs Of Men" which will be self released in 2023.
Synths start off the album before going into a very fast, melodic and brutal direction which also utilizes a great amount of blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them and spoken word parts can also be heard on a couple of tracks.
Throughout the recording you can also h ear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music also adds in a decent mixture of both old school and modern influences. Growls can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with a great portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling along with a couple of the tracks also introducing clean playing onto the album as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized, synths also make a return on some of the later songs. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album and cover a fictional story on an Islamic Holy War.
In my opinion Narrative are a very great sounding fast, aggressive and melodic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Monotheistic Submission" and "Kaffir, The Victor". 8 out of 10.
