Sons Of Hades are a band from Greece that plays an old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Tombs Of The Blind Dead" which was released by Floga Records.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the album while also adding in some elements of thrash metal. The vocals and riffs also add in a first wave black metal style along with a lot of the music being very heavily rooted in the 80's era as well as being very modern at the same time and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Blast beats are also added into the faster sections of the album while melodies are also utilized at times. When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling as well as adding in touches of the 90's second wave era of the genre, throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
When guitar solos and leads are introduced on the album they also bring in more of a melodic traditional metal style. Some of the riffing also adds in some touches of early death metal, clear singing is also added on some of the tracks and some of the songs are also very long and epic in length, keyboards are also used briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover horror themes.
In my opinion Sons Of Hades are a very great sounding mixture of black, death, thrash and heavy metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Fall Of The House of Usher" "Salem's Lot" and "Phantom Carriage". 8 out of 10.
