Pain Descendant are a solo project from Portland, Main that plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2022 ep "Solemn Tortured Apostle".
Wind sounds start off the ep along with some keyboards a few seconds later before going into a heavier direction on the second song. A couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams as well as the music also having its atmospheric moments.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the riffs also have their repetitive moments. Clean playing is also added on the closing song along with each track also sounding very different from each other and all of the music also sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction.
Pain Descendant plays a style of black metal that is very atmospheric and slow sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover depression and despair themes.
In my opinion Pain Descendant are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Apostle". 8 out of 10.
