Numenor are a band from Serbia that plays an epic and symphonic mixture of black, death, power and heavy metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Draconian Age" which was released by Elevate.
Melodic guitar leads start off the album and are done in a classic metal metal while the vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and power metal clean singing. Most of the music is heavily rooted in both the 80's and 90's era but modern at the same time and all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
The riffs also add in a great amount of melody while one of the tracks is a cover of "Hall Of The Mountain King" and introduces keyboards and symphonic elements onto the album. Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style.
Some of the riffing also shows an influence of the more melodic death metal style along with the songs also capturing an epic atmosphere as well as one track also adding in a brief use of back up shouts, all of the music sticks to a mid tempo direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are based upon the writings of Michael Moorcock, J.R.R Tolkien and H.P Lovecraft.
In my opinion Numenor are a very great sounding epic and symphonic mixture of black, death, power and heavy metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Make The Stand" "Arkenstone" "Twilight Of The Gods" and "The Last of Wizards". 8 out of 10.
