None where a duo from Portland, Oregon that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very atmospheric and depressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Inevitable" which was released by Hypnotic Dirge 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. Whispers can also be heard on a few songs along with the vocals being mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams and the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody.
The album also has its atmospheric moments while synths are also added into certain sections of the recording. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized.
When the music speeds up a small amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the album more of a raw feeling along with most of the album also sticking to either a slow or mid tempo direction, spoken word samples are also utilized on a couple of tracks and one song also adds in a brief use of acoustic guitars. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover nihilism, existential loss and failure themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from None and if you are a fan of atmospheric and depressive black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Alone, Where I Can See" and "Rest". 8 out of `0.
