Belgium's solo project Deha has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a depressive style of black metal with elements of post rock and this is a review of his 2023 album "The Illusion Of Reach" which will be released on December 29th by Naturmacht Productions.
An ambient orientated sound starts off the album along with some clean playing a few seconds later which also brings in elements of post rock before going into a heavier direction. Vocals are mostly depressive black metal screams while melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing and most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. A lot of the music also adds in influences from the earlier days of dsbm, the tracks also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the closing song is also an instrumental.
On this recording Deha goes back to the earlier days of depressive black metal and mixes it with post rock to create a very melancholic album. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover depression themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Deha and if you are a fan of depressive black metal and post rock, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Anymore" and "Mind over Matter". 8 out of 10.
