Finland's solo project Nemus Anima has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a melodic mixture of black, death and thrash metal and this is a review of his self released 2025 album "Rivers Flow Red" which will be released in June.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Clean playing is also added on some of the tracks along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are a mixture of high pitched black metal screams and death metal growls while the riffs also add in a lot of melody. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with all of the drum beats also being programmed as well as the riffs also mixing in a good amount of thrash metal elements
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with a couple of the tracks also being long and epic in length and one song also introduces synths onto the album, spoken words can also be heard briefly as well as the closing track also being an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness, melancholy and grief.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Nemus Anima and if you are a fan of melodic black, death and thrash metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Toxic Blood" and "Karma". 8 out of 10.
