Maudiir are a solo project from Montreal, Quebec, Canada that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a melodic and progressive mixture of black and thrash metal with some elements of punk and traditional metal and this is a review of his self released 2021 ep "La Part Du Diable" which will be released in February.
Clean playing starts off the ep before going into a heavier thrash medal influenced direction while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody and the solos and leads also remain true to an old school style.
Elements of traditional metal can also be heard in the mid tempo sections of the songs while the music also adds in a decent amount of progressive structures. 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 and tremolo picking.
at times the music also captures the raw energy of punk rock along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and as the ep progresses the solos and leads also go into more of a melodic direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover conspiracy theories, the political climate in the U.S and the Covid 19 pandemic.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Maudiir and if you are a fan of melodic and progressive blackened thrash metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Slumber" and "The Crowning Hour". 8 out of 10.
