Solus Grief are a solo project from Norway that plays a very atmospheric, depressive, and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of his 2023 album "With A Last Exhale" which will be released in February by Purity Through Fire.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while the solos and leads also add in a great amount of melody. All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the vocals being mostly high pitched yet depressive sounding black metal screams and all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Elements of doom metal can also b e heard in the slower sections of the songs at times while the faster sections of one track also add in a small amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Some of the riffing and leads also adds in touches of traditional metal along with the synths also giving the music more of an atmospheric feeling when they are utilized as well as the music also showing an influence of melodic death metal at times, spoken word parts can also be heard on the closing song. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness and depression themes.
In my opinion Solus Grief are a very great sounding atmospheric, depressive and melodic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Under Chocking White Veils" and "Yearning Of The Soul Damned". 8 out of 10.
