Groza are a band from Germany that plays a very raw, melodic and atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "The Redemptive End" which will be released in July by AOP Records.
Atmospheric soundscapes and synths start off the album while clean playing can also be heard briefly before going into a heavier musical direction. Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
The riffs also add in a great amount of melody while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the guitar solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized.
Growls can also be heard in some parts of the recording along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some clean playing also making a return on some of the later tracks, touches of post rock can also be heard in some of the riffing and as the album progresses a brief use of spoken word parts are also utilized. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover numbing isolation and desperation themes.
In my opinion Groza are a very great sounding raw, melodic and atmospheric black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Sunken In Styx Part II_Descent" and "Homewards". 8 out of 10.
