Los Angeles, California's Ashen Horde have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a melodic and progressive mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2026 album "The Harvest" which will be released in May.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound start off the album while the solos and leads also add in a great amount of melody. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them 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 black metal screams and death metal growls mixed in with some clear singing which also adds in a touch of alternative rock while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. At times the music also gets very technical sounding along with some tracks also showing the music going into more of a progressive direction.
On this recording Ashen Horde introduce elements of alternative rock into their progressive and technical mixture of black and death metal to create something very different from previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover collapse, decay and transformation.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ashen Horde and if you are a fan of progressive and technical black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Autumnal" "Remnant" and "The Harvest". 8 out of 10.
