Antrisch are a band from Germany that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays an atmospheric form of black metal with some elements of dark ambient, djent and doom metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "EXPEDITION II: Die Passage".
Field recordings start off the album along with some clean playing and spoken word parts a few seconds later which also evolve into grim sounding black metal screams. When synths are utilized they also bring in elements of dark ambient along with some choirs also being utilized briefly and some of t he tracks are also very long and epic in length.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can b e heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized. The slower sections of the songs are also very heavily rooted in doom metal as well as the mid tempos of the music also adding in some djent influences, one song also introduces acoustic guitars onto the album and the recording also closes with an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German cover the inner world and the relentless forces of nature.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Antrisch and if you are a fan of atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "II Wahnrationen - Saturnusparusie" and "IIIII Exodus | Tundrataumel - Croziers Bürde". 8 out of 10.
