Austria's solo project Frust has returned with a new recording which moves away from the post black metal style of previous releases and on this release goes for more of an atmospheric and experimental mixture of black, doom and horror metal and this is a review of his self released 2024 album "New Moon" which will be released in November.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the album while the vocals bring in a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls. Elements of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody and all of t he musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
At times the music also gets very experimental sounding while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style when they are utilized. Clean playing is also added on some of the tracks along with few songs also being instrumentals, synths can also be heard in certain sections of the recording.
One song also introduces raw tremolo picking into the guitar riffing along with a couple of tracks also adding in in a small amount of female vocals and most of the album sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover horror, nature and philosophical themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Frust and if you are a fan of atmospheric and experimental black and doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Chaos" "Sumer Rain" "Destiny" and "I Was Nix Mehr". 8 out of 10.
