A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and spoken words can also be heard briefly.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in more of a dark yet melodic style along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, at times because also gets very atmospheric as well as adding in some industrial touches and a couple of the songs also adds in a small amount of clean playing.
Mazam plays a style of black metal that is very traditional, atmospheric and depressive sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover urban nihilism, isolation and the decay of modern society.
In my opinion Mazam are a very great sounding atmospheric and depressive black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lead Liturgy" "Hollow Eden" "Sudden Smog" and "Grey Statis". 8 out of 10.
