Tryblith/The Light Fades Upon A Darkening Horizon/ColorLess Records/2011 EP Review


 Tryblith are a band from Ohio that has been interviewed buy this zine a few months back and play a style hat I would describe as being a raw form of satanic black metal with an ambient/atmospheric edge and this is a review of their 2011 ep "The Light Fades Upon Darkening Horizon"  which was released by ColorLess Records.

Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats being utilized, while the bass playing has a very dark tone which is mixed down low and the mix and seems to follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars, as for the synth when it is utilized on the first song it has a very dark ambient and atmospheric feel to it.

Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black/war metal riffing that is very raw, dark and brutal with some soft playing being used briefly on a couple of songs which adds to the darkness of the music and also has somewhat of a progressive feel and there are little to no guitar solos or leads present on the recording.

Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams with some goat metal growls being used at times and on one song there is a brief spoken word passage, while the lyrics cover paganism, satanism, occultism darkness and the war against the white light, as for the production it is very dark and raw sounding.

In my opinion Tryblith are a very good black/war metal band that adds a lot of originality to the music, and if you are looking for something that is very evil, dark, heavy, raw but still original sounding, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Converence  of Eternal Winter" and "Visions Of A Long Dead Past". RECOMMENDED BUY
