This is a review of another recording from Argentina's Mount Depression which shows the music returning to more of a depressive black metal direction and this is a review of their self released 2023 ep "Stormgarden".
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the ep while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on t he recording. Vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams while melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing and most of the tracks are also very short in length.
When the music speeds up a small amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Most of the songs also stick to either a slow or mid tempo direction along with each track also bringing in a different style and the ep closes with an ambient instrumental which also adds in some keyboards.
On this recording Mount Depression returns to more of a heavier and depressive style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover depression, solitude and suicide themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Mount Depression and if you are a fan of depressive black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Nocturnal Spirit" and "Dying Under The Master's Vision". 8 out of 10.
