Chicago, Illinois's Withering Soul has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a melodic style of blackened death metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Last Contact" which will be released in September by Mortal Music.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. When the music speeds up a lot of blast beats can also be heard along with the vocals also adding in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams and 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 while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Tremolo picking is also added into some of the faster riffing along with some keyboards also being added into some parts of the album.
One of the tracks is also very long and epic in length along with the music also moving away from the gothic elements that where more present on their previous releases as well as one track also introducing clean playing onto the recording, as the album progresses a brief use of melodic vocals can also be heard. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover communications between the living and the deceased.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Withering Soul and if you are a fan of melodic and blackened death metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Allergy Of The Void" "Ascent To Madness" and "Uncharted Course". 8 out of 10.
