This is a review of another recording from Richmond, Virginia's Breaths which continues the progressive mixture of post black, doom, alternative metal, post hardcore and shoegaze and the album will be released in 2022 by Trepanation Recordings and called "Though life has turned out nothing like I imagined, it is far better than I could have dreamt".
Melodic riffing and high pitched black metal screams start off the album while elements of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs. Clear alternative metal style vocals are also a very huge part of the recording along with some growls also being used in some part of the recording.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic post metal style while the clean sections also add in touches of shoegaze. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the mid tempo sections of the songs also showing an influence of post hardcore.
The music also has its progressive and atmospheric moments along with some songs also adding in a small amount of synths as well as most of the music also sticking to either a slow or mid tempo musical direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover anxiety themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Breaths and if you are a fan of post black, doom, progressive, alternative metal, post hardcore and shoegaze, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Elders" and "The Wayward". 8 out of 10.
