Wells Valley are a band from Portugal that plays an avant garde mixture of black, sludge, doom and post metal and this is a review of their 2019 album "Reconcile The Antinomy" which will be released on November 8th by Black Lion Records.
Distorted amp noises start off the album before going into a heavier direction while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. You can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording and the vocals are mostly black metal style screams and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
Elements of sludge and doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs along with some spoken word parts also being used briefly. The music also brings in a great amount of post metal influences while the clean vocals also gives the songs more of an avant garde vibe when they are used briefly.
Clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats as well as the music also having its atmospheric moments and when guitar leads are utilized they are done in a very distorted yet melodic style and as the album progresses the vocals start incorporating more growls. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover cosmology, hermeticism and theology themes.
In my opinion Wells Valley are a very great sounding avant garde mixture of black, sludge, doom and post metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out t his band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Henosis" and "Forty Days". 8 out of 10.
