Ammanas are a band from Russia that h as had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very aggressive and atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Solitude" which was released as a joint effort between Has Weg and Abyssal Productions.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Some of the tracks are also long and epic in length along with the music also having its atmospheric moments as well as one song also introducing synths onto the recording, one song is also an instrumental.
On this recording Ammanas takes their musical style into more of a fast, aggressive and atmospheric black metal direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the sacral experience of Bardo visions and the process of transition from life to death.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ammanas and if you are a f an of aggressive and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Icy Radiance Of Death" "Fearlessness" "Emptiness" and "Hopelessness". 8 out of 10.
