The Last Surrealist are a 1 man band from Philadelphia that plays a very experimental and atmospheric form of depressive black metal and this is a review of their self released 2012 demo "A Death Demonstration".
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being utilized, while the synths bring a very dark, atmospheric and experimental sound to the recording along with some elements of electronic music, as for the bass playing it has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast atmospheric black metal riffs that are very raw and primitive sounding with some melody being thrown into the riffing as well as some post rock influences and there are no guitar solos or leads present on this recording and there are no guitar solos or leads present on this recording, as for the acoustic guitars when they are utilized they use finger picking and full chords to add more experimental and post rock elements to the recording.
Vocals range from grim sounding and high pitched black metal screams to clean singing, while the lyrics cover darkness and nature themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it with the last song being long and epic in length.
In my opinion The Last Surrealist are a very great sounding hybrid of atmospheric black metal, experimental and post rock and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Like A Snow White Morning Burning". RECOMMENDED BUY.
