Red Antlers are a band from Gothenburg, Sweden that plays a mixture of post black and sludge metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 album "Deadwood" which will be released on May 21st.
A very dark and distorted sounding intro starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Blast beats are also added into the faster sections of the songs along with the vocals being done in a very angry and shouting blackened metal style.
Elements of sludge metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs while the music also adds in a lot of post metal influences. Clear vocals are also added into some parts of the recording along with the solos and leads also being done in a very dark yet melodic style and one track also introduces clean playing onto the album.
Some of the tracks are also long and epic in length along with a couple of the tracks also being instrumentals as well as most of the music also sticking to either a slow or mid tempo direction and as the album progresses a brief use of fast playing and blast beats can also be heard. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Swedish and cover the psyche of man and actual real life events.
In my opinion Red Antlers are a very great sounding mixture of post black and sludge metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Opia" and "Kenopsia". 8 out of 10.
