Mirzadeh are a band from Finland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a dark mixture of melodic black, goth and folk metal and this is a review of their 2021 ep "Sauna" which was released by Inverse Records.
A very hard and heavy sound starts off the ep along with some symphonic elements a few seconds later. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while the riffs also bring in a great amount of melody while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly while growls can also be heard in certain sections of the recording. The music also brings in a lot of gothic and dark metal elements along with some acoustic guitars and folk instruments also being added on a couple of the tracks and when the music speeds up a small amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard.
A couple of the tracks also introduces a brief use of clear pagan vocals onto the recording along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as adding in a decent mixture of both old school and modern influences and as the ep progresses a brief use of stringed instruments can also be heard. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Finnish Mythology, Local History and stories from the Kalevala.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Mirzadeh and if you are a fan of melodic black, dark, goth and folk metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "When The Deep Silence Signs" and "Sauna". 8 out of 10.
