Sylvatica are a band from Denmark that has been featured before in this zine and plays a melodic mixture of black, death, pagan and folk metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Ashes And Snow" which was released as a join effort between Satanath and Pest Records.
Tragic sounding keyboards start off the album along with some stringed instruments and symphonic elements a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and a decent amount of blast beats are also added into the faster sections of the songs.
Some of the tracks are very long and epic in length while the vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the music also adding in a decent amount of folk music elements.
Clean pagan vocals are also added into some parts of the recording along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as a later track also adding in a small amount of clean playing. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover misanthropy, science, mythology, cosmology and apocalyptic themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Sylvatica and if you are a fan of melodic black, death, pagan and folk metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ashes And Snow" "Cosmic Strings" and "Halls Of Extinction". 8 out of 10.
