Enki are a solo project from Sweden that plays a very depressive and suicidal form of black metal and this is a review of his 2022 album "I Tried But Failed In Life" which was released by Depressive Illusions Records.
Melodic guitar riffing starts off the album while the solos and leads also add in a lot of melancholic sounding melodies. Vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams along with the album also adding in some Sterbend and Trist covers and all of the drum beats are also programmed.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while one of the tracks also introduces acoustic guitars onto the album. Clear vocals can also be heard on a couple of songs along with the album also capturing a very suicidal orientated atmosphere and all of the music sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction.
Enki plays a style of black metal that is very depressive and suicidal sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover depression, suicide, loneliness and alcohol themes.
In my opinion Enki are a very great sounding depressive suicidal black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lonely" and "The Colors I Dont Rember". 8 out of 10.
