California's Imperalist has returned with a new recording which continues the sci-fi themed style of black metal from their previous releases and this is a review of their 2023 ep "Quantum" which will be released in December by Transcending Obscurity Records.
A sci-fi orientated intro starts off the ep while also adding in a brief use of synths before going into a heavier musical direction. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a lot of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and the riffing also mixes in influences from other style of extreme metal.
On this recording Imperalist remains true to the sci-fi themed style of black metal that they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover space and science fiction themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Imperalist and if you are a fan of very aggressive and melodic black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Echoed Demise" and "Quiescent Terror". 8 out of 10.
