Isleptonthemoon are a solo project from Atlanta, Georgia that h as had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very atmospheric and depressive style of black metal with elements of post rock and breakcore and this is a review of his 2024 album "Only The Stars Of My Misfortune" which will be released in November by Bindrune Recordings.
Atmospheric soundscapes and post rock style clean playing start off the album along with some clear vocals a few seconds later. Keyboards are also added into certain sections of the recording while the heavier riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and the harsh vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic post metal style while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, spoken words can also be heard briefly and a couple of tracks are also long and epic in length.
On this recording Iseleptonthemoon takes a very atmospheric and depressive style of black metal and mixes it with breakcore and post rock to create something very different. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover melancholic themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Isleptonthemoon and if you are a fan of atmospheric and depressive post black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dimming Light" and "Like Dying". 8 out of 10.
