United Kingdom's solo project Death Embrace has returned with a new recording which continues the occult and vampyric style of black metal from his previous releases and this is a review of his self released 2022 album "Unholy Trinity II".
Ritualistic sounding bells and synths start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the drum b eats give the music more of a militant style. Melodic chants can also b e heard briefly along with a great portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly high pitched suicidal black metal screams along with the spoken word parts also enhancing the occult vibe of the album when they are utilized.
Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the music also mixing in influences from the 90's and 2000's era at times, when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover death, possession, necromancy and vampirism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording f rom Death Embrace and if you are a f an of occult and vampyric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Eternal Silence" and "The gates of Death Open". 8 out of 10.
