MØL are a band from Denmark that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for an atmospheric mixture of alternative, post black metal and blackgaze and this is a review of their 2025 album "Dreamcrush" which will b e released on January 30th by Nuclear Blast Records.
Atmospheric sounding synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When clean playing is utilized it also brings in elements of alternative rock and shoegaze while the harsh vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and clear singing is also added in a lot of tracks.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic post metal style while some of the vocals also add in a small amount of growls. The cleaner sections of the album sound like they could easily be played on a modern rock station if thet removed the harsh vocals and one of the tracks fast playing and blast beats are also introduced briefly.
On this recording MØL takes an atmospheric form of post black metal and mixes it with shoegaze and laternative rock to create something very different. The prodcution sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture of Daniash and English and are inspired by the writings of Shoepenhaur and also covers existentialism, pessimism and abstract themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from MØL and if you are a fan of alternative rock, atmospheric post black metal and blackgaze, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "DREAM" "Garland" "A Former Blueprint" ande "CRUSH". 8 out of 10.
