Sweden's Third Storm has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of black, doom and death metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "The Locust Mantra" which will be released in October by Chaos Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
Synths can also be heard on some of the tracks along with the songs also adding in a lot of death metal elements. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the slower sections of the recording also adding in influences of doom metal, a lot of the music is also very heavily rooted in the classic Swedish style, acoustic guitars and clean playing can also be heard on a couple of songs.
On this recording Third Storm goes for more of a melodic and old school style of black emtal as well as adding in some touches of doom and death metal which makes the songs stand out a lot more. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover philosophy. duality and cosmology themes.
In my opinion t his is another great sounding recording from Third Storm and if you are a fan of old school black, doom and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Clandestine Gospel" "World Infernal" "Alter Omega" and "Dawn of The Fearmongers". 8 out of 10.
