Arctora are a band from Finland that plays a very melodic form of blackened death metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "The Storm Is Over" which will be released on September 30th by WormHoleDeath Records.
Classical guitars start off the album before going into a faster black metal direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. The riffs also add in a lot of melody along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the vocals are mostly death metal growls. Spoken word parts can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with a small amount of operatic female vocals also being utilized briefly and some songs also add in a small amount of synths.
All of the musical instruments on the album also have a very powerful sound to them along with a couple of tracks also adding in a small amount of acoustic guitars as well as some high pitched black metal screams also being utilized at times, clear male vocals are also added on one song. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover nature and melancholy themes.
In my opinion Arctora are a very great sounding melodic blackened death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hearts Ever Restless" "I Am Human" and "Haarksi". 8 out of 10.
