Herbstlethargie are s solo project form Germany that plays an atmospheric and depressive form of black metal and this is a review of his 2022 album "Melancholie im Blattfall" which will be released in September by northern Silence Productions.
Nature sounds and synths start off the album while clean playing can also be heard on some of the tracks. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the vocals being mostly high pitched depressive black metal s creams and most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the music also has its atmospheric moments. During the faster sections of the songs a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the album more of a raw feeling and the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along along with a couple of songs also added in a small amount of cellos and duduk's. as well as a alter track also adding in a brief use of melodic vocals. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover nature and depression themes.
In my opinion Herbstlethargie are a very great sounding atmospheric and depressive black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "September" "Blatter fallen" and "Der erste Schnee". 8 out of 10.
