Clarion Knell are a solo project from France that plays a very atmospheric and home made style of black metal and this is a review of his 2023 ep "Abyss Of Fear" which will be released on April 28th by Syrup Moose Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the ep along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. All of the musical instruments on t he recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and melodies can also b e heard in some of the guitar riffing.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while t he synths also give the music more of an atmospheric feeling when they are utilized. At times the music also captures a very low-fi atmosphere and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style when they are utilized, spoken word samples can also be heard briefly.
Clarion Knell plays a style of black metal that is very raw, atmospheric and home grown sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Fantasy, Revolution and Class Struggle themes.
In my opinion Clarion Knell are a very great sounding home made atmospheric black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Enlightenment" and "Totality". 8 out of 10.
