Namebearer are a duo from Maine that h as been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very atmospheric, experimental, progressive and psychedelic form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 ep "Industries Of The Fading Sun" which will be released in May.
A very heavy and progressive sound starts off the ep while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. When guitar leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some spoken words also being used on a couple of songs and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Clear singing and clean playing can also be heard at times while the recording also has its experimental and atmospheric moments. 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 and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
Shouts can also be heard at times along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. A couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as some synths also being added into certain sections of the ep and some of the music also adds in a small amount of psychedelic touches and the closing song is an instrumental. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and Finnish and cover apocalyptic themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Namebearer and if you are a fan of atmospheric, experimental, progressive and psychedelic black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Industries Of The Fading Sun" and "Lumivyory". 8 out of 10.
