Austria's Ellende has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric form of post black metal and this is a review of their album "Zerfall" which will be released in 2025 by AOP Records.
Clean playing starts off the album while keyboards are also utilized at times and mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. Spoken words and whispers can also be heard briefly while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams and a lot of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the music also has its atmospheric moments. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic post metal style along with some of the songs also adding in clear singing and classical instrumentation.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover the state of being shattered into fragments and the slow, painful process of rebuilding oneself, a confrontation with the void and ultimately a triumph over it.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ellende and if you are a fan of atmospheric post black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Wahrheit Teil I" "Ubertritt" and "Reise". 8 out of 10.
