Los Angeles, California's Ashen Horde has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a technical and progressive mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2024 ep "Decayed" which consists of 4 new song and 12 nonalbum songs that where released in the years 2015-2021.
Clean playing starts off the ep before going into more of a heavier, melodic and technical direction while the music also has its progressive moments. Blast beats are also added into the faster sections of the songs while the vocals also add in a great amount of high pitched black metal screams.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Death metal growls are also utilized quite a bit throughout the tracks and clear vocals can also be heard in certain sections of the recording.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic yet style along with the tremolo picking in the faster riffing also giving the songs more of a raw feeling, a couple of the tracks are also instrumentals. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover plagues and ancestral curses.
In my opinion this is another great sounding from Ashen Horde and if you are a f an of progressive and technical black and death metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Portent Among The Debris" "Baited Breath" "The Entity" and "Echthros". 8 out of 10.
