Atemporal are a solo project from Vancouver B.C, Canada that plays an avant garde and occult mixture of black and death metal and this is a r eview of his 2023 album "Thorn Genesis" which will be released in April by I, Voidhanger Records.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Vocals are a mixture of bestial death metal growls and black emtal screams along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of blast beats and the riffs also mix in a good amount of avant garde and dissonant structures.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a vey melodic yet dissonant style while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Spoken word parts can also be heard on a couple of songs along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them, clean playing can also be heard on the closing track.
Atemporal plays a musical style that takes the avant garde, dissonant and occult form of black metal and mixes them together to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Occultism, Esotericism, Left Hand Path, Human Spirituality, Fables, Mythology and the writings of H.P Lovecraft.
In my opinion Atemporal are a very great sounding avant g arde, dissonant and occult mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The great Warding" and "Meditaion On Azoth". 8 out of 10.
