Happy Days are a band from Texas that plays a very depressive and suicidal form of black metal with some touches of funeral doom metal and neo-classical and this is a review of their 2023 album "En Enfer, J’ai Régné" which will be released on January 31st by Talheim Records.
Evil sounding laughter starts off the album along with some spoken word parts a few seconds later before going into a heavier direction. Vocals are mostly high pitched yet depressive sounding black metal screams along with the slower sections of the songs also bringing in elements of funeral doom metal.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while t he solos and leads are done in a very melodic style. Growls can also be heard at times along with some keyboards also being added into certain sections of the recording which also adds in touches of neo-classical.
Operatic vocals can also be heard briefly along with the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody. Clear male and female vocals are also added on some of the songs as well as some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, when the music speeds up a small amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the album more of a raw feeling. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and French and cover depression, suicide and loneliness themes.
In my opinion Happy Dies are a very great sounding depressive suicidal black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hollow" "Forgive Me" and "Life Goes ON'. 8 out of 10.
