Heretoir are a band from Germany that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very atmospheric form of post black metal with elements of ambient and this is a review of their 2023 album "Nightsphere" which will be released in October by Northern Silence Productions.
Acoustic guitars start off the album while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic post rock style. Clear vocals are also a very huge part of the recording along with the songs also adding in touches of shoegaze at times as well as the songs also adding in a lot of high pitched black metal screams.
The album also has its atmospheric moments while the faster sections of the songs also add in a lot of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. At times the vocals also get more deep and angry sounding and throughout the recording you can also h ear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with some songs also mixing in elements of ambient in the synths as well as the music also having its progressive moments, one song is also an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album based upon the struggle between the forces of nature and a world of machines.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Heretoir and if you are a fan of atmospheric post black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Twilight Of The Machines" and "Pneuma". 8 out of 10.
