Kentucky's solo project Ad Infinitum has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an atmospheric form of ambient black metal and this is a review of his self released 2021 album "Hypnagogic Conveyence".
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Some of the tracks are also long and epic in length while atmospheric sounding synths can also be heard in the background at times and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
The songs also add in a good mixture of both old school and modern influences while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Most of the songs stick to either a slow or mid tempo direction as well as speeding up on a couple of tracks along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody, elements of ambient can also be heard in some parts of the album and there are also a couple of instrumentals.
On this recording Ad Infinitum goes for more of a mid tempo, cosmic, ambient and atmospheric style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover cosmos, dreams and darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ad Infinitum and if you are a fan of cosmic, atmospheric and ambient black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Transmedium Crest" and "Vacuum Decay". 8 out of 10.
