Aera are a band from Germany that plays an atmospheric and ambient form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Phantast" which will be released in October by Vendetta Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic post metal style as well as all of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
The songs also mix both the old school and modern era's of the genre together while the track also bring in elements of ambient when they are utilized. Clean playing is also added in certain sections of the recording along with the music also having its atmospheric moments and throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, classical guitars can also be heard briefly.
Aera plays a style of post black metal that is very raw and atmospheric sounding as well as adding in elements of ambient to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover inner, outer universes, distorted perspectives, and a world outside of society constraints.
In my opinion Aera are a very great sounding raw, atmospheric, ambient, post black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Kosmos" and "Fleisch und Knochen". 8 out of 10.
