Outward are a band from the Czech Republic that has been featured before in this zine and plays post black metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 ep "Rays Of The Sun".
Drum beats start off the album along with some clean playing which also brings elements of post rock into the music. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while both of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with some clear vocals also being added into the recording at times.
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the music also showing some influences of post punk and doom metal. the second track was recorded live and all of the music sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody.
On this recording Outward expands on the post black metal style that they introduced on the previous recording. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover life, death and beyond themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Outward and if you are a fan of post black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Rays of The Sun". 8 out of 10.
