Evergreen Refuge are a 1 man band from Colorado that plays a very instrumental form of black metal with elements and folk, ambient and post rock and this is a review of their self titled and self released 2012 album.
Drum programming ranges from slow to mid paced beats, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars, as for the synths which are only utilized briefly bring a very dark and atmospheric sound to the music.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, to mid paced riffs that combine atmospheric black metal, ambient and post rock together to create a sound of t heir own with some melody being thrown into the music, while the lead guitars are very melodic sounding atmospheric black metal/post rock guitar solos and leads, as for t he acoustic guitars they use finger picking and full chords to bring the folk music elements to t he album.
Vocals and song writing are all absent from the recording with the music being instrumental, while the song themes cover Nature, Solitude, and Darkness, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound with the songs being very long and epic in length.
In my opinion Evergreen Refuge are a very great sounding instrumental hybrid of atmospheric black metal, ambient, post rock and folk and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Home Finally" and "Removal, Solitude, Happiness". RECOMMENDED BUY.
