A Diadem Of Dead Stars are a solo project from Greece that has been featured before in this zine and plays an atmospheric and ambient form of post black metal and this is a review of his 2023 compilation "Emerald Sunsets" which will be released in February by Ill Dmnation.
A very heavy and atmospheric sound starts off the compilation while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can b e heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and the riffs also add in a great amount of melody.
When synths are utilized they also bring in elements of ambient while clear chants can also be heard on a couple of the tracks. The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic post metal style when they are utilized.
Classical guitars are utilized on a couple of songs and spoken word parts can also be heard in certain sections of the recording, one song also adds in a brief use of black metal screams into the background along with the closing track also adding in nature sounds and clean vocals while the production sounds very professional.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from A Diadem Of Dead Stars and if you are a fan of atmospheric and ambient post black metal, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Furrow Of Wolves" and "Of Green pastures". 8 out of 10.
