Nuclear Storm are a band from Germany that plays a melodic mixture of black and death metal with elements of traditional metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Tales Form the Depth" which will be released on cassette in February by Wolfmond Production.
Acoustic guitars and synths start off the album before introducing melodic guitar solos and leads onto the recording. The heavier riffs also add in a decent amount of melody while the vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams and all of the musical instruments on the album also have a very powerful sound to them.
The songs also add in a g odd mixture of both old school and modern influences while the more melodic side of the music also brings in elements of traditional metal. At times the vocals also add in more of a clean style along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a small amount of blast beats and tremolo picking.
Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly as well as one song also adding in a brief use of acoustic guitars and most of the album also sticks to more of a mid tempo direction as well as some of the riffing also adding in a touch of thrash metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness, evil and folklore themes.
In my opinion Nuclear Storm are a very great sounding melodic mixture of black and death metal with elements of thrash and traditional metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Animal" "The great White" "Evil Spirit" and Undertaker". 8 out of 10.
