Austria's Kringa have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a more modern and traditional style of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "All Stillborn Fires, Lick My Heart" which will be released in February by Teratur Possessions.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the vocals being mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
Clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording while clear vocals and spoken word parts can also be heard on some of the tracks. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats.
When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling along with one track also adding in a brief use of keyboards as well as some of the riffing also showing an influence of post punk. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Kringa and if you are a fan of modern and traditional black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Across The FirmamentStride!" "Labyrinth Heirs" and "Yoke of A Mirror Shard". 8 out of 10.
