Empyreal Sorrow are a band from Germany that has been featured before in this zine and plays a melodic and blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 ep "Harm(ony) Within" which will be released in December.
A very heavy yet melodic sound starts off the ep while the vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams. The music also adds in a great amount of 90's era Swedish influences along with one of the tracks also adding in a brief use of clean playing and all of t he musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while all of the music sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction along with the track also showing no use of fast playing or blast beats but still managing to create a very heavy recording and the closing track is also a re-mix song that also adds in some elements of electronic music.
On this recording Empyreal Sorrow remain true to the melodic and blackened death emtal style that they established on their previous release. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Empyreal Sorrow and if you are a fan of melodic and blackened death emtal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Cursed Be the False Promise" and "No Absolution". 8 out of 10.
