Evangelion are a band from Switzerland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a melodic mixture of black, death and doom metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Revelations Or The Spawn Of Greed And War" which will be released on December 24th by Auric Records.
Bells and epic sounding drum beats start off the album along with a powerful sounding b ass guitar a few seconds later. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the slower sections of the songs also bring in elements of doom metal and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Keyboards can also be heard briefly while clear vocals can also be heard in some parts of the album. The riffs also add in a great amount of melody along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a lot of tremolo picking and blast beats and the songs also ad d in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Some of the riffs and leads also show an influence of mid 90's era Swedish melodic death metal along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken word parts. The album also adds in a few instrumentals which also introduce acoustic guitars and folk instruments onto the recording and growls can also be heard at times, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover War, Medieval and Apocalyptic themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording form Evangelion and if you are a fan of melodic black, doom and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Reign Of The Prophets" "A King's Dream II" and "As The Soldiers leave the Battleground". 8 out of 10.
