Khôra are a band with members from Germany and Ireland that plays a very atmospheric, symphonic and progressive mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2020 album "Timaeus" which will be released in April by Soulseller Records.
A very dark sounding intro starts off the album which also introduces keyboards onto the recording that also mix in with the heavier sections of the music. Vocals also bring in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats.
The riffs also add in a good amount of melody while the music also gets very progressive sounding at times. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the music also mixing the symphonic elements in the heavier sections of the music.
Spoken word parts can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the music also having its atmospheric moments. Some tracks also add in a small amount of clean playing as well as one song also introducing clean vocals onto the album and the solos and leads are done in a very dark yet melodic style.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as one track also introducing spoken word parts onto the recording and the songs also add in some session work from members of Dodheimsgard, And Oceans and Finntroll and acoustic guitars are also added on the closing track. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the creation of the universe by three omnipotent entities, which also also loosely based on Plato's dialogue "Timaeus".
In my opinion Khôra are a very great sounding progressive, atmospheric and symphonic 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 "Noceo" "De Vetus Ad Novum" "Existence" and "The Occultation Of Time". 8 out of 10.
