No Hand Path are a band from Greece that plays an atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Mysticism Of Coming Of Age" which will b e released on March 21st by Floga Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while all of the instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the riffs also capture the dissonant side of the Icelandic style. A lot of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the music also mixing in atmospheric elements heavily influenced by the Cascadian bands in with the rawness of the Norwegian sound.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the riffs and the solos and leads are also done in more of a melodic direction along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing as well as the music also mixing in elements of Swedish death metal and crust punk, clear vocals and spoken words can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the foundations of religion, family and nationalism.
In my opinion No Hand Path are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Womb" and "Cosmogony". 8 out of 10.
