Minnesota's Ashbringer has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of an experimental and atmospheric form of post black metal with elements of ambient, noise and folk music and this is a review of their 2023 album "We Came Here To Grieve" which will b e released on September 29th by Translation Loss Records.
Heavy riffing and angry sounding black metal screams start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Growls can also be heard at times along with the clean sections also bringing in elements of post rock and recording also has its experimental moments .
The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while clear vocals can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the music also going into an atmospheric direction at times and some of the tracks are also long and epic in length, the music also adds in a lot of progressive touches.
The solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized along with some melodies also being added into some of the guitar riffing as well as the synths also bringing in elements of ambient when they are introduced into the music, spoken word samples and noises can also be heard briefly and the acoustic guitars also show an influence of folk music. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover nature themes.
In my opinion this is another decent sounding recording from Ashbringer and if you are a fan of experimental and atmospheric post black emtal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE 'Pages" "Gazed" "Here" and "We Came Here To Grieve". 7/5 out of 10.
