Trepas are a band from Quebec, Canada that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very atmospheric and melancholic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Les Ombres Malades" which will be released on June 24th by Sepulchral Productions.
Tortured voices start off the album before going into a heavier direction while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams and the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats.
When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffs. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some tracks also adding in some clean playing and acoustic guitars, the music also has its atmospheric moments and when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style.
On this recording Trepas remain true to the atmospheric and melancholic style of black metal tat they had established on their previous release. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in French and cover darkness, alienation and melancholy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Trepas and if you are a fan of atmospheric and melancholic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Aliénation" "Métamorphose" and "L'astre noir". 8 o8ut of 10.
