Ukraine's solo project Haissem has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric, melodic and progressive form of black metal and this is a review of his 2024 album "Khaos Ebony Flame" which will be released in March by More Hate Productions
Ambient style keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with the music also having its atmospheric and symphonic moments.
At times the album also gets very progressive sounding while all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast b eats can also be heard along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic and technical style.
Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as some of the music also mixing in a small amount of death metal elements and ritualistic chants are also added on the outro. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Left Hand Path, Anti Cosmic, Egyptian, Norse mythology and Chaos themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Haissem and if you are a fan of atmospheric, melodic and progressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Sui Generis" and "Tiamtu". 8 out of 10.
