Australia's Midnight Odyssey have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an epic, atmospheric and cosmic form of black metal and this is a review of their live 2026 album "A Mass Of Fallen Stars - Live In Toulon" which will be released in May by I, Voidhanger Records.
Live audience reaction starts off the album before adding in some ambient style keyboards which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while elements of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the recording.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while the harsh vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams which also adds in some depressive touches. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style.
Symphonic touches are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording along with all of the drum beats also being programmed. Clear singing is also added on a couple of songs as well as one track also adding in a brief use of clean playing and most of the album sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover mythology, spirituality, space, death and misanthropy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Midnight Odyssey and if you are a fan of epic, atmospheric and cosmic black metal, you should check out this live album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "From Forest To Firmament" "When Titans Fall" and "Tears of Starfire". 8 out of 10.
