This is a review of another recording from The Last Surrealist with the musical style being atmospheric black metal mixed with post rock and experimental and this is a review of their self released 2013 ep "Void".
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being present on this recording, while the synths has a very dark, atmospheric, psychedelic, and experimental sound to the recording, as for the bass playing it has 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 black metal riffs that are very atmospheric and melodic sounding with some raw and primitive elements as well as a great amount of post rock influences in the riffing and there are no guitar solos and leads present on this recording, as for the classical and acoustic guitars when they are utilized they use finger picking and full chords to enhance the darkness of the recording while also adding in folk elements.
Vocals are mostly high pitched and grim sounding black metal screams that have a depressive tone to them at times with some clean singing that further enhance the folk and post rock elements, while the lyrics cover nihilistic and existential themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it with the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great sound recording from The Last Surrealist and if you are a fan of experimental and atmospheric sounding black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "She Is Clenched In The Teeth Of Zombies". RECOMMENDED BUY.
