Strydegor are a band from Germany that plays a melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2020 album "Isolacry" which will be released in November by MDD Records.
A very dark sounding intro starts off the album along with a brief use of synths before going into more of a heavier melodic direction. Vocals are 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 and clean singing is also utilized at times.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with one track also introducing spoken word parts into the music.
Some songs also add in a small amount of clean singing along with the synths also making a return on one of the later tracks and as the album progresses a brief instrumental can also be heard, and a later track also adds in a brief use of acoustic guitars. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark and scientific themes.
In my opinion Strydegor are a very great sounding 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 "Innocence Corroded" "World In Your Hands" "As April Slowly Fades" and "Still Alive". 8 out of 10.
