Italy's solo project Derhead has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an experimental and avant garde style of black metal and this is a review of his 2023 album "The Grey Zone Phobia" which will be released in March by Brucia Records.
A very dark, distorted, heavy and melodic 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 faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of blast beats.
When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling while t he songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the riffs also adding in a great amount of avant garde structures.
Synths can also be heard in the background at times along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style as well as the music also having its experimental moments, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the contrast between reality and our inner self, and between memories and dreams and also adds in some inspiration from the philosophical works of Henti Bergson.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Derhead and if you are a fan of experimental and avant garde black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Chaos Is For You Only" and "Drops of Storm". 8 out of 10.
