Aspen Sanctum are a band from Michigan that plays an atmospheric form of black metal with elements of post hardcore and Americana and this is a review of their 2026 album "To Withhold The Need To Conquer" which will be released in August by Fiadh Productions.
A very distorted sound starts off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with some clean playing also being utilized at times and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with some elements of post hardcore also being added into the mid tempo sections of the songs and the clean sections also add in touches of Americiana, growls are also utilized at times. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the nature of the Great Lakes and Midwestern United States Region.
In my opinion Aspen Sanctum are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal band with elements of post hardcore and Americana and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Without Illumination" and "Ancient Sentience". 8 out of 10.
