Lhaäd are a solo project from Belgium that playa a hadopelagic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Beneath" which will be released in March as a joint effort between Amor Fati Productions and Extraconconsciouss.
Avant garde sounds start off the album before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction while a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can b e heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams as well as adding in a small amount of growls. At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding along with some synths also being utilized in certain sections of the recording which also adds in touches of ambient.
The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the guitar solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized as well as a couple of tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken word parts. The production sounds very dark and r aw while the lyrics cover cosmic themes.
In my opinion Lhaäd are a very great sounding hadopelagic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Beneath II" and "Beneath VI". 8 out of 10.
