Italy's Dawn Of A Dark Age have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an atmospheric, avant garde and experimental style of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Le Forche Caudine" which will be released in September by Antiq.
Horse sounds start off the album before adding in some synths and atmospheric soundscapes while the clarinets also add in elements of jazz music when they are utilized. Clean playing can also be heard in some parts of the recording along with the music also having its experimental and avant garde moments.
Both of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the songs also mix both the experimental and heavy parts together. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with some stringed instruments also being added into some parts of the album.
Touches of Italian folk music can also be heard at times along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing as well as some spoken word parts also being utilized briefly and the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats.
When tremolo picking it utilized they also give the songs more of a raw feeling as well as the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with one track also adding in a brief use of melodic chants and vocals. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the Samnites.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording form Dawn Of A Dark Age and if you are a fan of atmospheric, avant garde and experimental black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Act II". 8 out of 10.
