Graveir are a band from Australia that h as had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very melodic and aggressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "The Festering Triad" which will be released in may by Apocalyptic Witchcraft.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody and the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams. When synths are utilized they also add in an atmospheric touch along with the solos and leads also adding in a great amount of melody.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats and tremolo picking can also be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the songs also taking the aggression of the old school era and mixing it with the modern style of the genre.
On this recording Graveir goes for a very modern, melodic, aggressive and atmospheric style of black metal, The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover death, decay and madness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Graveir and if you are a fan of melodic, aggressive and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lords Of Misrule" "The Festering Triad" and "The Rite Of Degradation".
