Baltimore, Maryland's Barbelith has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an atmospheric and depressive style of post black metal and this is a review of his self released 2023 ep "Deathless Master".
Clean playing starts off the ep and also brings in elements of post rock while the only track that is present on the recording is over 20 minutes in length. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the song more of a raw feeling.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while the vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody and the track also adds in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, clear singing can also be heard briefly and keyboards are also used towards the end.
On this recording Barbelith goes for more of an atmospheric and depressive style of post black metal as well as creating a 21 minute length epic song. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover lost time themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Barbelith and if you are a fan of atmospheric and depressive post black metal, you should check out this ep. 8 out of 10.
