Terragon are a solo project from France that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very atmospheric and Tolkien themed form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 20222 album "Chaptre III: The Middle Earth - Part One".
Epic sounding synths start of the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Spoken word parts and whispers can also be heard on a couple of tracks while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while some of the tracks also add in a small amount of clean playing. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized as well as the album also having its atmospheric moments.
Clear singing can also be heard briefly along with all of the music sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction and the closing track is a cover of "Gollum's Song" from the Two Towers soundtrack which also ads in a brief use of female vocals.. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover the writings of J.R.R Tolkien.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Terragon and if you are a fan of epic and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Snow White! Oh Lady Clear" "Song Of Nimrodel" "When Evening in The Shire Was Grey" and "From Eragion To Khazad Dum". 8 out of 10.
