Hollywood, California's Ashen Horde have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a progressive and technical mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their album "Antimony" which will be released in 2023 by Transcending Obscurity Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the music more of a raw feeling and the vocals are a mixture of high pitched black metal screams and death metal growls.
The riffs also add in a lot of melody while the riffing, solos and leads also go into a very technical direction at times. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording.
All of the musical instruments on the album also have a very powerful sound to them along with some of the tracks also adding in a small amount of clear vocals as well as the music also having its progressive moments, spoken word parts are also added on the closing track. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album based upon the unsolved murder of Charles Bravo committed in 1876.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ashen Horde and if you are a fan of progressive and technical black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Throes Of Agony" "The Physician" and "The Neophyte". 8 out of 10.
