Canada's solo project Unreqvited has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of experimental, ambient, post black metal and blackgaze and this is a review of his 2025album "Pathway To The Moon" which will be released in February by Prophecy Productions.
Ambient style soundscapes and synths which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times start off the album along with some clear vocals a few seconds later which also adds in t touch of post rock. 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 raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the music also having its experimental moments and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in more of a melodic blackgaze style along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody as well as the songs also adding in a great amount of orchestration. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover nature, emotions and melancholy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Unreqvited and if you are a fan of experimental, ambient, post black metal and blackgaze, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Antomatter" and "Into The Stralit Beyond". 8 out of 10.
“The Starforger” / “The Antimatter”
