Everdead Wood are a band from Ireland that plays a very progressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "In Pious Chains" which will b e released in December by Fiadh Productions.
Clean playing starts off the album along with some grim spoken word parts a few seconds later which also evolve into high pitched black metal and also takes the music into a heavier direction. A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and at times the album gets very progressive sounding.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats.
Synths are also added on a couple of tracks and throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with one song also being an instrumental, when tremolo picking is utilized they also give the album more of a raw feeling. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover occultism, cosmology and nature themes.
In my opinion Everdead Woods are a very great sounding progressive black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "My Cell, my Sail, My Self" and "Osculum Inflame". 8 out of 10.
