The Convalescence are a band from Ohio that plays a mixture of black metal and deathcore and this is a review of their 2023 album "Harvesters Of Flesh And Bone" which was released by Cleopatra Records.
A very heavy and symphonic sound starts off the album while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the vocals also adding in a good mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams.
When the music speeds up a great amount of brutal sounding blast beats can also be heard while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also done in a very melodic style along with the mid tempo sections of the songs also b ringing in elements of deathcore.
At times the music also gets very technical sounding along with some tremolo picking also being added in some of the faster riffing and as the album progresses a brief use of clean playing can also be heard. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover horror and gore themes.
In my opinion The Convalescence are a very great sounding mixture of symphonic black metal and deathcore and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Reaper" "Sacrificial Offering" "Undead Swarm" and "Experiment Complete". 8 out of 10.
