Creature are a solo project from France that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a progressive, symphonic and avant garde style of black metal with some elements of death metal and this is a review of his 2021 album "Eloge De L 'Ombre" which will be released in November by i, Voidhanger Records.
A very dark yet heavy prog metal sound starts off the album along with some avant garde style synths and symphonic elements a few seconds later. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard while the vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while one track also introduces acoustic guitars onto the album. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with some songs also adding in clean vocals as well as the music also adding in touches of progressive rock at times.
Clean playing is also added on some of the tracks 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 brief use of trumpets, spoken words and hip hop style vocals can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in French and cover dark themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Creature and if you are a fan of progressive, symphonic and avant garde black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Conscience Mecanique" "L'Empire Des Singes" "Les Fragements" and "Retrograde". 8 out of 10.
