(Dolch) are a band from Germany that started out as a mixture of black, doom metal and drone and on this recording goes for more of a mixture of post punk, ambient and drone with some touches of doom metal 2022 album "Nacht" which will be released in February by Van Records.
Dark ambient style synths start off the album along with some spoken word parts a few seconds later while female vocals can also be heard briefly. Melodies are also added into some of t he guitar riffing as well as the music also mixing in some touches of post punk and the slower riffing also adds in the heaviness of doom metal.
Atmospheric sounding drones can also be heard in some parts of the recording while one track also adds in a brief use of whispers. Clear male vocals can also be heard at times along with some of the drum beats also being programmed as well as a later song also adding in a brief use of spoken word parts and the whole album also sticks to a slower direction.
On this recording (Dolch) moves away from the black emtal elements of previous releases and brings in more of a mixture of post punk, darkwave, dark ambient and drone as well as mixing in the heaviness of doom metal at times. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Night Time and Darkness themes.
In my opinion (Dolch) are a very decent sounding mixture of post punk, darkwave, dark ambient and drone and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lights Out" "Into The Night" "Bird of Prey" and "Coda". 7/5 OUT OF 10.
