Synthre are a band from Finland that plays a dissonant mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 ep "Heterodoxa" which will be released in September.
A very dark and heavy Middle Eastern influenced sound starts off the ep while the vocals bring in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them.
Chants and clear singing are also utilized at times which also adds in a ritualistic touch while the recording also has its dissonant moments. Folk instruments and synth can also be heard briefly along with one track also adding in some tribal style beats and the whole ep sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction.
Synthre plays a musical style that takes a dissonant form of black metal and mixes it with death metal and Middle Eastern music to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the era while the old gods of Sumer and Mesopotamia walked alongside early Christianity and Gnosticism.
In my opinion Synthre are a very great sounding dissonant mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "He Comes" and "The Gaze is Fire". 8 out of 10.
