Australia's Mesarthim has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an atmospheric, cosmic and psychedelic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Arrival" which will be released on May 26th by Avantgarde Music.
Atmospheric sounding synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody along with the music also having its cosmic and psychedelic moments and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Elements of trance can also be heard at times while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the album more of a raw feeling along with some of the tracks also being brief instrumental interludes.
spoken word parts can also are also added on a couple of tracks and throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and touches of electronica and ambient can also be heard at times. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover cosmos and existence themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Mesarthim and if you are a fan of atmospheric, cosmic and psychedelic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Arrival, Pt. 2" "Arrival, Pt. 6" and "Type IV". 8 out of 10.
