Marea are a solo project from Italy that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays an atmospheric mixture of post black and doom metal and this is a review of his 2025 ep "Adrift" which will be released in May by Masked Dead Records.
Clean playing and atmospheric sounding synths start off the ep before going into a heavier direction while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Elements of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs and the vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and growls.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic post metal style. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the music also being heavily rooted in the modern era and all of the songs stick to either a slow or mid tempo direction, acoustic guitars can also be heard at times.
In this recording Marea takes an atmospheric form of post black metal and mixes it with doom metal to create a very melancholic sounding recording. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover melancholy and dreams.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Marea and if you are a fan of atmospheric post black and doom metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Useless". 8 out of 10.
