Heretoir are a band from Germany that plays a very atmospheric and progressive form of post black metal and this is a review of their 2023 ep "Wastelands" which will be released in May by AOP Records.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the ep while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams along with the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody.
Clear singing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording while the music also has its atmospheric moments. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some synths also being added on some of the tracks, the music also has its progressive moments as well as some elements of shoegaze and post rock also being utilized at times and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style when they are utilized, some of the songs where also recorded live.
Heretoir plays a style of post black metal that is very atmospheric sounding as well as adding in some elements of progressive rock and shoegaze to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover existence, self reflection, fears, dreams and life in all of its facets.
In my opinion Heretoir are a very great sounding atmospheric and progressive post black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "At Dusk" and "Exhale". 8 out of 10.
