Ukraine's 1914 have returned with a new recording which shows them continuing the blackened mixture of sludge, doom and death emtal from their previous releases and this is a review of their 2021 album "Where Fear And Weapons Meet" which will b e released on October 22nd by Napalm Records.
World War I era music samples start off the album before going into a heavier direction while synths can also be heard on a couple of songs and also brings in more of an epic and symphonic atmosphere. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats are also utilized along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style.
Grim black metal screams are also a very huge part of the recording while tremolo picking is also added into some of the faster riffing. The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the slower sections of the songs also adding in elements of sludge and doom metal.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Death metal growls can also be heard at times as well as a great portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing as well as some songs also adding in war samples and spoken word parts along with a later track also adding in folk music touches, acoustic guitars, stringed instruments and clean vocals before returning back to a heavier direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover The History of World War 1.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from 1914 and if you are a fan of black, sludge, doom and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Vimy Ridge (In Memory of Flip Konowal)" "Coward" and "The Green Fields Of France". 8 out of 10.
