Wode are a band from the united Kingdom that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a profane mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Burn In Many Mirrors" which will be released in April by 20 Buck Spin.
Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the riffs also bring in elements of death metal. Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of blast beats and a lot of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Vocals are mostyl blackened metal screams while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some synths, keyboards and sound effects effects also being added into some parts of the recording as well as one of the songs also introducing clean playing onto the album.
Clean vocals can also be heard briefly and when tremolo picking is utilized it also gives the music more of a raw feeling along with the solos and leads also having their chaotic moments as well as some of the music also showing an influence of 80's metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism and Chaos themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Wode and if you are a fan of profane black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lunar madness" and "Vanish Beneath". 8 out of 10.
