Germany's Atronos has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an old school form of pagan black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Erwachen" which will be released on December 21st by Purity Through Fire.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Most of the music is very heavily rooted in the 90's era while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams as well as the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody and most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while synths can also be heard at times. Clean playing is also added on some of the tracks along with some clear pagan vocals also being utilized on a few songs and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Growls are also added into some parts of the album along with al of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and the recording also has its epic and atmospheric moments. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics are written in German and cover Paganism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Atronos and if you are a fan of old school pagan black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Was uns so schrecklich hasst" and "Transformation". 8 out of 10.
