Portland, Oregon's solo project Mizmore has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of black and doom metal and this is a review of his 2023 album "Prosaic" which will be released in July by Profound Lore Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very distorted yet melodic style.
Elements of doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with some growls also being utilized at times as well as the tracks also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, clean playing and acoustic can also be heard on a couple of the tracks and one song also adds in a brief use of spoken word parts.
On this recording Mizmore moves away from the drone elements of previous releases and focuses more on a mixture of black and doom metal. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover existentialism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Mizmor and if you are a fan of black and doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "No Place To Arrive" and "Acceptance". 8 out of 10.
