Germany's Asarhaddon have returned with a new recording which continues the atmospheric style of black metal from previous releases and this is a review of their 2024 album "Era" which was released by Vendetta Records.
Clean playing starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams and the faster sections of the songs also add in a lot of blast beats.
When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also gives the songs more of a raw feeling while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding, clean playing also returns on the later tracks and all of the album is very heavily rooted in the modern era.
On this recording Asarhaddon goes for a very aggressive, atmospheric and mid tempo style of black metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover the stories of four knights based upon true events in history.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Asarhaddon and if you are a fan of atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Der silberne Mond" and "Die roten Vogel". 8 out of 10.
