Uprising are a solo project from Germany that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very raw and atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of his 2024 album "III" which will be released in July by AOP Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with some melodies also being added into some of the guitar riffing and the clean sections also bring in elements of shoegaze.
Spoken word parts are also utilized briefly while the synths also add in an atmospheric touch when they are utilized. Clear vocals are also added on a few songs along with the tremolo picking and blast beats in the faster sections of the album also giving the music more of a raw feeling when they are utilized.
When guitar solos and leads are added into the music they are also done in a very melodic style along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing and acoustic guitars as well as the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover social and political criticism.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Uprising and if you are a fan of raw and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Eternal Mantra" and "Brace Yourself". 8 out of 10.
