Russia's Ammanas has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Somewhere Far Beyond" which was released by Witches Sabbath Records.
Clean playing and atmospheric sounding splits start off the album while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic post metal style.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the album also adding in a good mixture of old school and modern influences, growls can also be heard briefly.
On this recording Ammanas goes for more of an atmospheric and melodic form of post black metal which is very different from their previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness, death and occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Ammanas and if you are a fan of atmospheric and melodic post black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "As Above" "The Fall" and "The Relentless God". 8 out of 10.
