Asira are a band from the United Kingdom that plays a very progressive form of post black metal with elements of shoegaze and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "As Ink In Water" which will be released on November 14th.
Electronic sounds and programmed beats start off the album along with some clean playing which also takes the music into more of a progressive direction. Clear singing and synths are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording which also mixed in with the heavier sections of the songs.
Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with the harsh vocals being grim sounding black metal screams and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic post metal style along with the album also adding in a great amount of shoegaze elements. The recording also adds in touches of progressive rock, blues and choral music at times as well as the songs also adding in a great amount of synths, when the music finally speeds up a small amount of raw tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the human experience.
In mu opinion Asira are a very decent sounding progressive post black metal band with elements of shoegaze and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Clarity" and "In Sunrise". 7/5 out of 10.
