Olim are a solo project from Ontario, Canada that plays an atmospheric form of post black metal and this is a review of his 2024 album "Because" which will b e released on May 17th by Flowing Downward.
Tragic sounding keyboards start off the album before going into a very fast and raw which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the music also has its atmospheric moments and the solos and leads are d one in a very melodic post metal style.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with some clean playing also being added into certain sections of the recording and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and the closing track is an instrumental.
Olim plays a style of post black metal t hat is very aggressive and atmospheric sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover an introspective exploration of the human psyche.
In my opinion Olim are a very great sounding atmospheric post black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Question If Why" and "The Answer Is Because". 8 out of 10.
