Shadu-Nar-Mattaru are a duo from Armstrong, British Columbia, Canada that plays a melodic and old school mixture of black, death, thrash and speed metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 album "The Sorrowful Frost".
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album before going into a faster musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of blast beats. Death metal growls are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while black metal screams are also utilized at times and a lot of the music is also heavily rooted in the mid 80's to early 90's era.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. The riffs also add in a good amount of melody along with the tracks also mixing in a great amount of thrash and speed metal elements.
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the whole album also sticking to a heavier direction and they also bring in a cover of Slaughter's Shadow Of Death". The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover Lovecraft, Weird Fiction, Nightmares, Satanism, Occultism and Anti Christianity themes.
In my opinion Shadu-Nar-Mattaru are a very great sounding melodic and old school mixture of black, death, thrash and speed metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this duo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "House Of Hell" "Demons In The Mirror" "The Tomb Of Eryx" and "Sunrise Over Arrokoth". 8 out of 10.
