This is a review of another recording from Oaks Of Bethel with the musical style being ambient black metal mixed with drone and psychedelia with the ep being released by EEE Recordings and called "River Of Tears".
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being utilized at times, 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 field recordings when they are utilized bring in the dark ambient, experimental and noise elements to the ep.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast ambient black metal riffs that are very repetitive, raw and primitive sounding along with some elements of drone and psychedelia being thrown into the riffing as well as some dark sounding melodies and there are no guitar solos or leads present on this recording, as for the acoustic guitars which are only utilized briefly use finger picking and full chords to add elements of folk music to the ep.
Vocals range from spoken word parts to clean singing with no growls or screams being utilized on the ep, while the lyrics cover Nature, and Culture, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound with the only song being very long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Oaks Of Bethel and if you are a fan of primitive black metal and drone, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED BUY.
