Diadalos are a solo project from Germany that plays a symphonic mixture of black and dark metal and this is a review of his 2022 album "The Expedition" which was released by Extreme Metal Music.
Orchestrations and synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs throughout the recording. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard while the music also gets very symphonic sounding at times and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
A couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the vocals also go in a grim direction at times. Spoken word parts can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with some songs also adding in a small amount of clear vocals and the music also adds in a great amount of 90's influences.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style. Elements of dark metal can also be heard quite a bit throughout the album as well as a couple of songs also adding in a brief use of acoustic guitars, female vocals can also be heard briefly., pianos can also b e heard in certain sections of the album. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Captain Sir Franklin's Last Expedition and one song is also a Robert Frost poem put to music.
In my opinion Diadalos is a very great sounding symphonic mixture of black and dark metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Expedition" "Srormwind" "Poem In The Snow" and "My Melancholy". 8 out of 10.
