Greece's solo project Spectral Lore has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of ambient and atmospheric black metal and this is a review of his self released 2023 ep "11 Days" which will be released in March.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts of f the ep while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Growls can also be heard at times while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. The music also has its atmospheric moments and synths are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the tracks.
A couple of the songs are also ambient orientated instrumentals along with some spoken word samples and field recordings also being utilized briefly and all of the heavier tracks sticks to mostly a faster musical direction with only a brief use of slower sections. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover a refuge sea route to Europe through the Mediterranean Sea with some touches of fantasy and horror.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Spectral Lore and if you are a fan of ambient and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Moloch" and "Adro Onzi". 8 out fo 10.
