Antitheus are a duo from Seattle, Washington that plays a melodic and symphonic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "The Faults Of Our Kind".
Synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times while the music also has its symphonic moments. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard along with the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats. Tremolo picking is also utilized when the music speeds up along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as all of the drum b eats also being programmed, clean playing can also be heard on a couple of tracks and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly.
Antitheus plays a musical style that takes symphonic black metal and mixes it with melodic death metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the issue of humanity and the constant error of its ways.
In my opinion Antitheus are a very great sounding symphonic and melodic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this duo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Outcast" "Baba Yaga" and "The Knot". 8 out of 10.
