Bad At Life are a solo project from Springfield, Oregon that plays a very raw and melodic form of black metal and this a review of his self released and self titled 2025 album.
A very heavy yet melodic sound starts off the album while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with all of the drum beats also being programmed and most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
All of the musical instruments on the album also have a very powerful sound to them while synths can also be heard at times. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style.
Elements of thrash metal can also be heard at times as well as the riffs also bringing in a decent amount of melody. When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the album more of a raw feeling, death metal growls can be heard on some of the tracks and clean playing is also added on a couple of songs. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover murder, depression and suicide themes.
In my opinion Bad At Life are a very great sounding raw and melodic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Cursed by Thorns" and "Bad At Life". 8 out of 10.
