Atlantic Ridge are a duo from Italy that plays an atmospheric mixture of black and funeral doom metal and this is a review of their self titled 2026 album which will be released in April as a joint effort between Void Wanderer Productions and Dusktone.
A very dark and heavy funeral doom metal sound starts off the album while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with some synths also being utilized at times as well as one track also adding in a brief use of female vocals.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while clean playing is also added into certain sections of the album. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of blast beats.
When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Growls are also added into some parts of the album as well as some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover incredible places and an utopian journey through time and space.
In my opinion Atlantic Ridge are a very great sounding atmospheric mixture of black and funeral doom metal and if you are a fan o0f those musical genres, you should check out this duo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Our Faith Is Our Strength(Tristan da Cunha)" and "Contemplating The Vastness Of the universe(The Gobi Desert, Mongolia)". 8 out of 10.
