Paracrona are a band from Norway that plays a style of black metal they refer to as being 'Titanium Metal' and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "Sun God" which will be released on may 24th.
Clean playing starts off the album along with some synths a few seconds later which 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 vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams and growls can also be heard at times.
The music also has its atmospheric and progressive moments while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats and throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some of the riffing also showing an influence of traditional metal. When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling as well as some songs also adding in a small amount of clear vocals, whispers and touches of ethnic music can also be heard on the closing track. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover ancient old belief systems and oppressions, Satan's fascination due to the media, fake realities and nature themes.
In my opinion Paracrona are a very great sounding modern black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "New Impurity" "Sun God" "River of Pain" and "Reasons". 8 out of 10.
