Massachusetts's Invertia has returned with a new recording which shows them moving away from the mixture of black, death and industrial metal from t heir previous releases and focusing more on an oppressive death/doom metal style and this is a review of their album "Through The Black Bubble" which will be self released in 2023.
Clean playing starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while elements of doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs. Vocals are mostly deep death metal growls along with some melodies also being added into the guitar riffing at times and all of the drum beats are programmed.
Touches of industrial can also be heard at times but with less impact than the previous release where they had a bigger role. When guitar solos and leads are introduced onto the recording they are done in a very dark yet melodic style along with some synths also being added into the background briefly.
Most of the album is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era as well as a couple of the tracks being long and epic in length along with some blast beats also being utilized briefly when the music finally speeds up and one song also adds in a small amount of acoustic guitars. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover oppression themes.
In my opinion this is another decent sounding recording from Invertia and while some fans of their earlier industrial black metal albums might not be into the newer style, I can see this release appealing more to fans of doom/death metal. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Preaching To The Fire" "The Old Suckers" and "Super Morbidly Deceased". 7/5 out of 10.
