Mother are a band from Belgium that plays an atmospheric mixture of blackgaze, post and sludge metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "I" which will be released on December 12th by Consouling Sounds.
Atmospheric sounding synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the music at times. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody and post metal elements and some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
The slower sections of the songs also add in the heaviness of sludge metal while the music also has its atmospheric moments. Clean singing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording while black metal screams are also a very huge part of the recording and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard.
When tremolo picking is utilized they also gives the music more of a raw feeling along with the cleaner sections of the songs also adding in touches of shoegaze as well as one track also introducing whispers and spoken word parts onto the recording and the album also closes with an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Mother are a very great sounding mixture of blackgaze, post and sludge metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "II" "III" and "VI". 8 out of 10.
