Morningstvr are solo project from the United States that plays a synth orientated form of black metal and this is a review of his self release 2025 album "A Fate Engraved" which will be released in June.
Battle horns start off the album before introducing epic sounding synths which also mix in with the heavier sections of the songs. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while all of the drum beats are also programmed while the music also captures a very lo-fi atmosphere and all of the instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
The album also has its atmospheric moments while the songs also add in a mix of both old school and modern influences. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with some blast beats also being utilized on a couple of tracks when the music finally speeds up, spoken words can also be heard in certain sections of the album as well as one song also being an instrumental and most of the recording sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction.
Morningstar plays a style of black metal that is very mid tempo, epic and synth orientated. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover medieval lore, ancient battles and fallen empires.
In my opinion Morningstvr are a very great sounding synth orientated black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Beyond The Cold Wastes" "When Mountains Behold Tombs Of Nine" "Her Eyes In Winter Fog" and "Whispers of Nameless Fear". 8 out of 10.
