One With The Riverbed are a band from Kalamazoo, Michigan that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very atmospheric form of post black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Succumb" which will be released on October 25th by Dusktone.
A very dark, heavy and atmospheric sound starts off the album while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a r aw feeling and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Synths are also added into certain sections of the recording while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic post metal style, growls can also be heard at times and some songs also add in a small amount of clean playing as well as a couple of tracks also being very long and epic in length.
On this recording One With The Riverbed goes for more of an atmospheric style of post black metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover death, loss and nature themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from One With The Riverbed and if you are a fan of atmospheric post black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Infested" "Purified" and "Sunlight". 8 out of 10.
