Minnesota's duo Feral Light have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a mixture of post black metal and crust punk and this is a review of their 2022 album "Psychic Contortions" which will be released in April by I, Voidhanger Records.
A very heavy yet melodic sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are presented on the recording. The solos and leads also add in a great amount of melody along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams and clean playing can also be heard on some of the tracks.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also give the songs more of a raw feeling. Growls can also be heard at times along with the mid tempo sections of the tracks also adding in elements of crust punk and throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic post metal style along with one song also adding in a small amount of clean playing and the music also has its sorrowful moments, the album also closes with an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover nightmares and bad psychedelic trips.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Feral Light and if you are a fan of post black metal and crust punk, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Enveloped And Transformed" and "Communion And Reckoning". 8 out of 10.
