Autumnfall are a band from Finland that plays a very dark and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "The Archaic Sins" which will be released in September by Ardua Music.
Synths start off the album before going into a very fast and melodic direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the recording also adds in a lot of dark metal elements.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the mid 90's ad early 2000's era of the genre, growls.
Whispers and spoken words are also utilized at times as well as a couple of tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing and a couple of the songs are also very long and epic in length. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark and philosophical themes.
In my opinion Autumnfall are a very great sounding dark and melodic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lightless Depths" "Crystal Skies" and "The Timeless Kin". 8 out of 10.
