Switzerland's ColdCell have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a very dark and atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Age Of Unreason" which will be released in July by AOP Records.
A very dark, heavy and atmospheric sound starts off the album while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Keyboards can also be heard at times along with some throat singing also being utilized briefly as well as the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams and a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. The album also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some spoken word samples also being utilized briefly and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and clean playing is also added on some of the tracks.
At times the music also gets very experimental sounding along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are introduced into the music as well as the vocals also adding in more of an angry shouting approach in certain sections of the album, female vocals can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover social abyss and the (un)reason of being.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from ColdCell and if you are a f an of dark and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hope And Failure" "Solidarity Or Solitude" and "Discord". 8 ou of 10.
