Ammanas are a band from Russia that plays a very mid tempo form of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Acolythus" which was released by Legions Ov Darkness.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album along with some grim black metal screams a few seconds later. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while blast beats and tremolo picking can be heard while the music speeds up which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling when they are utilized.
At times the vocals also get very high pitched sounding while some of the tracks also added in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Clear vocals can also be heard briefly along with the music also staying away from the use of guitar solos and leads to focus more on a riff orientated direction as well as some keyboards also being added on the closing song.
Ammanas plays a style of black metal that sticks to mostly a slow or mid tempo direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness and death themes while focusing more on the English language but also bringing the German and Russian languages on a couple of tracks.
In my opinion Ammanas are a very great sounding mid tempo black metal band and if you are a fan this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hastar" "Furcht" and "Hiraeth". 8 out of 10.
