Grau are a band from Germany that plays a very aggressive form of black metal with elements of death metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Abseits Des Lichts" which will be released in December by Tragedy Productions.
A very dark y et heavy sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the songs more of as raw feeling and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Death metal growls can also be heard at times while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the slower sections also bringing in touches of doom metal.
A couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as some clean playing and synths also being utilized briefly and clear vocals are also added on the closing track. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover pain, emptiness and the animalistic aspect of the human mind.
In my opinion Grau are a very great sounding aggressive and modern black metal band with elements of death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Niemy" "Fiebertraum" and "Frass". 8 out of 10.
