Alchemia are a band from Brazil that plays a symphonic mixture of black, death, goth and heavy metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Inception" which was released by WormHoleDeath Records.
A very dark, heavy and symphonic sound starts off the album along with some clean vocals that also add in touches of hard rock and traditional metal while King Diamond style vocals are also utilized at times. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with some aggressive shouts also being utilized at times.
Black metal screams and death metal growls are also added into some parts of the recording while the guitar solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Elements of goth metal are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the music also capturing the atmosphere of a classic horror movie at times as well as some of the riffing also showing some influences of nu and groove metal, most of the music also sticks to a mid tempo direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover reflection, conscience, mental imprisonment, phobias and psychological disorders.
In my opinion Alchemia are a very great sounding symphonic mixture of black, death, goth and heavy metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Grind" "Haunting You" "Mind Prison" and "Secret Call". 8 out of 10.
