Aliore are a band from Italy that plays a very esoteric and theatrical form of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Oraison Funebre" which will be released in November by Adpocere Records.
Clean playing and drum beats start off the album before going into a heavier direction while synths are also utilized at times. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the recording more of raw feeling. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken words.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style as well as the album also adding in some touches of the mid 90's era symphonic style along wit h one song also introducing operatic vocals onto the recording. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Italian and cover four souls torn from the First World War bound together by tragedy and destiny.
In my opinion Aliore are a very great sounding theatrical and esoteric black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Renaissance" "Tumulte" "Sous la LunePale" and Cendres et Lumiere". 8 out of 10.
