Lebensabend are a solo project from Russia that plays a very aggressive and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of his 2023 album "Skaftáreldar' which was released by Dark East Productions.
Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into a heavier musical direction while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. When the music speeds up a lot of tremolo picking and blast beats can b e heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly grim y et high pitched sounding black metal screams.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while some of the riffing also shows an influence of death metal. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic yet chaotic style along with a great portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, acoustic guitars and nature sounds can also be heard on a couple of tracks.
Lebenabend plays a style of black metal that is very raw and melodic sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture of Russian and English and cover Nature and Depression themes.
In my opinion Lebensabend are a very great sounding raw and melodic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE 'Eldmessa (The Fire Sermon)" and "Land of The Ice". 8 out of 10.
