Paisaunt are a band from Finland that plays a very atmospheric and melodic form of black metal with elements of rock'n'roll and this is a review of their 2026 album "Life And Other Horrors" which will b e released in April by Naturmacht Productions.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the riffs also add in a lot of melody. Elements of rock'n'roll are also added into the mid tempo sections of the songs along with the recording also having its atmospheric moments, synths are also utilized at times and a couple of tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as one song also introducing spoken words into the music.
Paisaunt plays a style of black metal that is very atmospheric and melodic sounding as well as adding in elements of rock'n'roll to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover absurdist philosophy.
In my opinion Paisaunt are a very great sounding atmospheric and melodic black metal band with elements of rock'n'roll and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Every Grief I Meet" "Maladaptive Daydreaming" and "Dawn". 8 out of 10.
