Kentucky's solo project Starer has returned with a new recording which shows the music going form more of an atmospheric and symphonic form of post black metal and this is a review of his 2022 ep "Remorse Defines Me" which will be released in September by Snow Wolf Records.
A very heavy sound along with some symphonic style synths start 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 black metal screams and when the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can b e heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
The music also has its atmospheric moments while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Growls can also be heard briefly along with the music also mixing in some mid 90's era old school influences in with a more modern post black metal style.
On this recording Starer takes the mid 90's era of symphonic black metal and mixes it with a more modern and atmospheric style of post black metal to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover philosophical themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Starer and if you are a fan of atmospheric and symphonic post black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Coiled Around The Sun". 8 out of 10.
