Metakosmia are a duo from Greece that an experimental and ambient form of symphonic black metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 album "Aperantos Kosmos".
Ambient style keyboards start off the album while also bringing in elements of space music which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the vocals being a mixture of clean singing which also adds in an avant garde touch and grim black metal screams.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with all of the drum beats also being programmed and at times the music also gets very experimental sounding.
The album also has its atmospheric moments along with some spoken word parts also being utilized one one song as well as some of the tracks also being instrumentals. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing and some songs also add in a small amount of death metal growls, acoustic guitars can also be heard briefly. As the album progresses a small amount of blast beats and fast tremolo picking are also added on the recording but keeping the main focus on either a slow or mid tempo direction. The production sounds very professional while lyrics cover Greek Philosophy, Space, Science and Mysticism themes.
In my opinion Metakosmia are a very great sounding experimental and ambient symphonic black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Entropy" "Astronomikos Kanon" "Tetrapharmakos" and "The Absence of Suffering". 8 out of 10.
