Celephais are a band from Germany that plays an instrumental form of atmospheric/post black metal and this is a review of their self released 2011 album "Becoming The Deceased".
Drums range from slow, mid paced, to fast drumming with some blast beats being utilized at times, while the bass playing has a very strong and powerful sound with primitive black metal riffing that dominates throughout the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast black metal riffs that utilize some raw and primitive sounding elements as well as some melody and post rock influences to create a sound of their own, while the lead guitars are very melodic sounding post black metal guitar solos and leads, as for the acoustic guitars they use finger picking and full chords to add some progressive elements to the recording.
Vocals and song writing are all absent from this recording with the music being all instrumental, while the song themes cover darkness and nature, as for the production it has a very heavy, raw and primitive sound while you can still hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording with most of the songs being very long and epic in length.
In my opinion Celephais are a very great sounding instrumental atmospheric/post black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Shroud Of Mirrors" and "Our Hideout Among The Stars". RECOMMENDED BUY.
