Solus Grief are a solo project from Norway that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for more of an atmospheric, depressive and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of his 2023 album "What If This Was Everything" which will be released in September by Purity Through Fire.
Melodic yet heavy sounding riffing starts off the album while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also add in a great amount of melody along with the vocals being mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while the faster sections of the tracks also add in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. Clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the album along with some of the songs also adding in a small mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, clear chants can also be heard briefly and keyboards are added on the closing track
On this recording Solus Grief goes for more of an atmospheric, depressive and melodic style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover darkness, depression and nature themes.
\ In my opinion this is another great sounding r4ecording from Solus Grief and if you are a fan of atmospheric, depressive and melodic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Upon The Winds, My Breath Left" and "Of The Earth Cold". 8 out of 10.
