Synthre are a solo project from Finland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a middle eastern themed form of black metal and this is a review o their self released 2026 ep "Thus Burns The House Of The Sun"
A very distorted sound starts off the ep along with some elements of Middle eastern music which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. Spoken words can also be heard at times while all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and clear vocals can also be heard at times.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very dark yet melodic style while the harsh vocals are mostly black metal screams. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats as well as the recording also having its dissonant moments
On this recording Synthe goes for more of a dissonant and middle eastern style of black metal. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover the rise, fall and transformation of Assyrian civilization.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Synthre and if you are a fan of Middle Eastern infleunced black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Nightfall" and "House Of The Sun". 8 out of 10.
