Kentucky's solo project Starer has returned with a new recording which continues the atmospheric and symphonic style of post black metal from their previous releases and this is a review of his 2023 album "Wind, Breeze, or Breath" which will be released in July as a joint effort between Folkvangr Records, Fiadh Productions and Adironack Black Mass.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Symphonic elements are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the songs at times while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams and the riffs also add in a great amount of melody.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music also has its atmospheric moments. Clear vocals are also added on some of the tracks along with some clean playing also being added into certain sections of the recording and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic post metal style, growls can also be heard at times.
On this album Starer remains true to the atmospheric and symphonic style of post black metal that he has established on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover lucid dreaming.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Starer and if you are a fan of atmospheric and symphonic post black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Drifting" Witnessing" and "Returning". 8 out of 10.
