Flood Peak are a band from Portland, Oregon that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a blackened mixture of sludge and post metal and this is a review of their ep "Fixed Ritual" which will be released in 2021 by Anima Recordings.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the ep while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. The slower sections of the music also adds in the heaviness of sludge metal and all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Elements of post metal can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording while most of the tracks also adds clean playing into the music. A couple of the songs are also very long and epic in length along with some of the riffing add in some drone like and dissonant structures and the whole ep sticks to a slower musical direction as well as some spoken word parts also being utilized briefly.
On this recording Flood Peak takes black, sludge and post metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover mental and emotional states.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Flood Peak and if you are a fan of black, sludge and post metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Salve Curator" and "Sectarian Hilt". 8 out of 10.
