W.E.B are a band from Greece that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a symphonic mixture of black and gothic metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Colosseum" which will be released on November 19th by Metal Blade Records.
Symphonic elements start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs while blast beats can also be heard when the music speeds up. Vocals are mostly grim black metal screams along with some choirs also being utilized at times and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Elements of gothic metal can also be heard during the slower sections of the songs along with a couple of the tracks also introducing spoken word parts onto the recording.
Operatic female vocals can also be heard briefly and as the album progresses a brief use of ethnic style instruments, tribal percussion and acoustic guitars can also be heard along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them as well as some songs also adding in death metal growls. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism, Luciferian, Occultism, Darkness, Violence and Philosophical themes.
In my pinion this is another great sounding recording from W.E.B and if you are a f an of symphonic black and gothic metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dark Web" "Pentalpha" "Necrology" and "Exaudi Luciferi". 8 out of 10.
