Lord Krehn is a solo artist from Denver, Colorado that plays an atmospheric form of black metal with elements of industrial and death metal and this is a review of his self released 2025 ep "A Haunting At Dawn" which will be released in September.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the ep while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams. Clean playing, synths and atmospheric sounds can also be heard at times along with some clear singing also being added into certain sections of the recording and blast beats are also utilized when the music speeds up.
When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling while the music is heavily influenced by both the modern and old school era's of the genre. Death metal growls can also be heard at times along with the riffs also adding in melodies at times.
Some of the drum beats also add in a touch of industrial as well as all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them. When guitar leads are finally utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and a later track also adds in a brief use of wind instruments. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are a concept album and cover human behavior themes.
In my opinion Lord Krehn are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Embracing The Dark" and "The Wretching Hour". 8 out of 10.
