One With The Riverbed are a band from Kalamazoo, Michigan that plays a very melodic and dissonant form of post black metal with some elements of doom metal which will be released in August by Snow Wave Records.
Nature sounds start off the album along with some stringed instruments a few seconds later while the clean playing also brings in elements of post rock. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while post hardcore style shouting and death metal growls can also be heard at times. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the songs also bringing in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Influences of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs along with the guitar solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style as well as the riffing also adding in a decent amount of dissonant structures, when synths are utilized they also add in touches of ambient. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover death and loss themes.
In my opinion One With the Riverbed are a very great sounding melodic and dissonant mixture of post black and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Carcas" and ""Sanctuary". 8 out of 10.
