Huronian are a band from Italy that plays a melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "As Cold As A Stranger Sunset" which will be released in October by Dolerem Records.
A synth orientated intro starts off the album along with a brief use of operatic vocals before going into a heavier musical direction. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard while the vocals are a mixture of angry black metal screams and death metal growls and the riffs also add in a great amount of Swedish style melodies.
Tremolo picking is also added into some of the faster riffing while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them and as the album progresses a brief use of classical guitars and spoken word parts can also be heard.
Huronian plays a musical style that takes the melodic styles of black and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Huronian are a very great sounding melodic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Portals To The Unspeakable" "Birds Among Insects" and "Shadow Cast by Eternal Sails". 8 out of 10.
