Svneatr are a band from Vancouver B.C, Canada that plays a very atmospheric, melodic and progressive form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 album "Chinook".
A very hard and heavy sound starts off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while all of the instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Elements of death metal can also be heard in some of the riffing along with the riffs also add in a great amount of melody and at times the music also adds in the raw energy of crust punk.
The music also gets very progressive sounding throughout the recording along with the music also having its atmospheric moments. Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly as well as most of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, one song also introduces melodic vocals onto the album and a later track also adds in a brief use of acoustic guitars.
In my opinion Svneatr are a very great sounding atmospheric, melodic and progressive black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Consequence Of Fear" and "The Veins of the Earth". 8 out of 10.
