Osiris are a band from Egypt that plays a very melodic and symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Meanders A Soul..." which will be released on April 26th by Satanath Records.
Symphonic sounds and orchestration starts off the album along with a brief use of nature sounds and cries while also mixing in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams as well as adding some death metal growls into some parts of the recording.
When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking can be heard while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and some songs also add in a small amount of clean playing.
Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style as well as the songs also adding in a lot of 90's influences, a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and as the album progresses a brief use of clean vocals can also be heard on a couple of tracks, female vocals can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Ancient Egyptian Civilization, Warfare, Hate, Pain, Anger, Passion and Fear themes.
In my opinion Osiris are a very great sounding melodic and symphonic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Of hate, Passion And Eternity" "Tears of Isis" and "Endless Sands". 8 out of 10.
