Forodren are a solo project from Canada that plays an atmospheric mixture of depressive black and melodic doom metal and this is a review of his 2022 ep "Of Mortal Decay" which was released by Depressive Illusions Records.
Dark yet heavy riffing starts off the ep while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams along with the music also having its atmospheric moments and clean singing can also be heard at times.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Elements of doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs along with some racks also adding in a small amount of clean playing and synths and all of the music sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction.
Forodren plays a musical style that takes the atmospheric and depressive forms of black metal and mixes them with melodic doom metal to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness and depression themes.
In my opinion Forodren are a very great sounding atmospheric mixture of depressive black and melodic doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Life Isn't Real" and "Enlightenment Through Darkness". 8 out of 10.
