Mittags-Abgrund are a solo project from Russia that plays a very epic and old school mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of his self titled 2026 album which will be released in September by Darkness Shall Rise.
Acoustic guitars start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and the vocals are mostly grim black metal screams.
Elements of death metal are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while clear singing can also be heard at times. Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era along with the faster sections of the album also adding in a decent amount of blast beats and tremolo picking which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and a couple of tracks also adds in a small amount of clean playing.
Mittags-Abgrund plays a musical style that goes back to the 90's era of black and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics are written in Russian and cover darkness themes.
In my opinion Mittags-Abgrund is a very great sounding epic and old school mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out t his solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Портреты моих предков" and Aurora Consurgens". 8 out of 10.
