Valdrin are a band from Ohio that plays a melodic and symphonic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2018 album "Two Carrion Talismans" which will be released in September as a joint effort by Blood Harvest Records and Helter Skelter Productions.
Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction while all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams as well as the faster sections of the songs also bringing in a great amount of blast beats.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the synths also gives the songs more of a symphonic feeling along with the solos and leads being done in a very melodic style as well as some spoken word parts also being used at times.
Death metal growls can also be heard in certain sections of the recording while a couple of the tracks are very long and epic in length and as the album progresses a brief use of classical guitars can also be heard on a couple of tracks along with the recording closing with a track that is all instrumental.
Valdrin plays a style of black metal that is very melodic and symphonic in the 90's tradition while also mixing in a great amount of death metal influences, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover various ancient mythologies and occult practices seen through the eyes of the protagonist Valdrin Ausadjur.
In my opinion Valdrin are a very great sounding symphonic and melodic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Junnatox" "Funeral Tides Of Orcus" and "Crimson Blades Valdrin Ausadjur". 8 out of 10.
