Autrest are a solo project from Brazil that plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of his 2023 album "Follow The Cold Path" which will be released in June by Northern Silence Productions.
Nature sounds start off the album along with some atmospheric sounding keyboards a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while acoustic guitars can also be heard in certain sections of the recording. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing and the album closes with an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover nature themes.
In my opinion Autrest are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "December Dusk" and "Pale Night". 8 out of 10.
