Seattle, Washington's Voidthrone have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a dissonant mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2026 album "Dreaming Rat" which will be released in May.
A very heavy and dissonant sound starts off the album while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard along with the vocals also adding in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams as well as a brief use of clear singing.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling along with the solos and leads also being done in a very dissonant style when they are utilized.
Clean playing and folk instruments can also be heard briefly and a later track also introduces angry shouts onto the recording as well as one song also adding in a brief use of classical guitars. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover a triptych of parallel arcs.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Voidthrone and if you are a fan of dissonant blackened death metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Homeless Animal" "Bergen" "First Blood" and "Worm Spiral". 8 out of 10.
