China's solo project Tassi has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of post black metal and blackgaze and this is a review of his 2025 album "Isamon Novasah-Liva" which will be released in May by Dusktone.
Epic sounding synths which also add in a touch of ambient start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Whispers can also be heard at times while some tracks also add in a good amount of clear singing while the clean playing also adds in elements of shoegaze and post rock and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
A couple of songs also adds in a small amount of spoken words while the harsh vocals are mostly depressive black metal screams. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with one song also adding in a brief use of acoustic guitars and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with most of the music sticking to either a slow or mid tempo direction, when the album finally speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Chinese and cover Daoism, esoteric and spiritual themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Tassi and if you are a fan of depressive post black metal and blackgaze, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "LLL" and "VI". 8 out of 10.
