Avernus Gate are a band from The united States that plays a very raw and atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 ep "Poetry Of Leathered Wings" which will be released on cassette by Death Hymns.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the ep while the keyboards also give the music more of an atmospheric feeling when they are utilized. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with a couple of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and the riffs also add in some melodies at times.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. The recording also adds in a lot of Scandinavian and Teutonic influences along with the tracks also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, angry shouts are also added on the closing song.
Avernus gate plays a style of black metal that is very raw and atmospheric in the classic European tradition. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover dark and poetic themes.
In my opinion Avernus Gate are a very great sounding raw and atmospheric black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Gleaming Onyx Temple" and "Poetry of Leathered Wings". 8 out of 10.
