Suldusk are a band from Australia that plays a mixture of blackgaze and dark folk and this is a review of their 2024 album "Anthesis" which will be released in march by Napalm Records.
Whispers start off the album along with some synths and clear vocals a few seconds later while the music also adds in a lot of folk music elements. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the album more of a raw feeling.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while high pitched black metal screams can also be heard at times. Folk instruments are also added on some of the tracks along with the music also mixing in a lot of shoegaze touches and the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the riffs also adding in a lot of melody. Nature sounds and acoustic guitars can also be heard on a few songs as well as some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover nature themes.
In my opinion Suldusk are a very great sounding mixture of blackgaze and dark folk and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Verdaslet" "Anthesis" and "Leaven". 8 out of 10.
