Denver, Colorado's Necropanther have returned with a new recording which continues their melodic mixture of black, doom, death and thrash metal from previous releases and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "Betrayal" which will be released in March.
A heavy heavy and melodic thrash metal influenced sound starts off the album while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Death metal growls can also be heard at times along with the solos and leads also remaining very true to an old school style and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Elements of doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs while the faster sections of the album also add in a decent amount of blast beats. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the music also showing some influences from the 80s and 90s and mixing them with the modern era.
Some of the solos and leads are also very heavily rooted in traditional metal, tremolo picking can also be heard in some of the faster riffing and the whole album also sticks to a heavier direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover science fiction and dystopian themes as well as focusing on the movie ''Th Warriors" and the Greek story of Anabasis by Xenophon.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Necropanther and if you are a fan of melodic black, doom, death and thrash metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "One ANd Only" "Into Danger" "Furies" and "Betrayal". 8 out of 10.
