Today’s review is of Greek Black Metal band Ambrotos’ new album.
This release has the same sonority and a similar vocal performance to the classic Hellenic Black Metal bands, especially Varathron, but they combine this marvellous and characteristic sound with a modern approach that gives them their own personality.
The album is generally faster-paced than your usual releases of the subgenre, but its auras leave similar impressions. Although some songs feel as if they’re too long, there’s also some brave elements of experimentation that offer mixed results, though mostly these are positive. Any fan of the genre should check this out if they enjoy the inherent mysticism that is found in Greek albums, and listeners of Black Metal with modern dissonant flairs may also like it. My personal highlights are the title track and “Aeras The Infinite”.
I recommend this album to fans of Hellenic Black Metal. My rating is of 8,5/10.
