Soaring are a band from France that plays a mixture of post black metal and shoegaze and this is a review of their self titled 2024 ep which will be released in October as a joint effort between Stellar Frequencies and Araki Records.
Synths and melodic post metal guitar solos and leads start off the ep while the songs also add in a great amount of shoegaze elements. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the vocals bringing in a mixture of clear singing and high pitched black metal screams and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
Clean playing is also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the music is more heavily rooted in the modern era Female vocals can also be heard briefly along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and the whole ep sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction.
Soaring plays a musical style that takes post black metal and mixes it with shoegaze to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the universe and questioning reality.
In my opinion Soaring are a very great sounding mixture of post black metal and shoegaze and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Blurred Contour Of Everything" and "Starflowers". 8 out of 10.
