New York's Yellow Eyes has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an experimental form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Confusion Gate" which was released by Gilead Media.
Synths, nature sounds and field recordings start off the album while elements of folk music can also be heard at times. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling and the riffs also add in a great amount of melody.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and saxophones are also added on a few tracks.
At times the music also gets very experimental sounding along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style as well as the album also having its atmospheric moments, acoustic guitars, medieval instruments, clear singing and spoken words are also added on a few tracks. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover nature and solitude themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Yellow Eyes and if you are a fan of atmospheric and experimental black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Brush The Frozen Horse" "A Forgotten Corridor" and "Confusion Gate". 8 out of 10.
