Ancestral Blood are a band from Charlotte,, North Carolina that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays battle orientated and celestial from of black metal and this is a review of t heir 2023 album "Forgotten Myths And Legends-Chapter One" which will b e released on July 21st by WormHoleDeath Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style while all of the musical instruments on the recording have a very powerful sound to t hem and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the music also has its atmospheric moments. A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with some keyboards also being mixed in with the heavier sections of the songs at times and the music is heavily rooted in the mid 90's era.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with one song also adding in a brief use of water and nature sounds as well as a couple of songs also adding in a small amount of spoken word parts and clear vocals, clean playing can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover lost stories and legends from different cultures and eras
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ancestral Blood and if you are a fan of epic and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Forgotten myths And Legends" "Through Enchanted Forest of Illusion" and "Lost on A Boundless Journey (Voyage)". 8/5 out of 10.
