Ave Galea are a band with embers from Illinois and Missouri that plays a very old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Death Whisper...Her Cold Secret" which was released by Necrotic Records.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while spoken word parts can also be heard on a couple of songs. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the solos and leads also adding in a great amount of melody and the music also shows a good amount of Nordic influences.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style, synths can also be heard briefly and clean playing is also added on the closing track.
Ave Galea plays a style of black metal that is very old school and traditional sounding in the classic Nordic style. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover Death and Darkness themes.
In my opinion Ave Galea are a very great sounding old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Death Whisper...Her Cold Secret" "Fractal Cessation" and "Smoldering Teeth Of The Hellmouth". 8 out of 10.
