Yfel are a band from Columbus, Ohio that plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Beneath The Mountain's Vigil" which will be released in December by Fiadh Productions.
A very fast and r aw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while atmospheric sounding synths can also be heard at times. Acoustic guitars can also be heard briefly along with a great portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style, clear singing can also be heard on a few songs.
Yfel plays a style of black metal that is very aggressive, atmospheric and melodic sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover unity, struggle and resistance against oppressive forces.
In my opinion Yfel are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Battle of Blair Mountain" and "Eyes of The Moon". 8 out of 10.
