Ardent Nova are a duo from Phoenix, Arizona that plays a melodic mixture of black, death, thrash and heavy metal and this is a review of their self titled 2023 album which will be released in March by Wise Blood Records.
A very epic sounding keyboard orientated intro starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Elements of thrash and traditional metal can also be head in some of the guitar and the vocals are mostly death metal growls along with a few black metal screams.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. The songs also take an 80's style and mix them in with a more aggressive vocals approach and a modern day brutality along with some blast beats also being added into the faster sections of the tracks, keyboards also make a brief return and one song is also an instrumental.
Ardent Nova plays a musical style that take s the melodic forms of black, pagan and death metal and mixes them together with thrash and traditional metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Paganism themes.
In my opinion Ardent Nova are a very great sounding melodic mixture of pagan black, death, thrash and heavy metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this duo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Rise From The Ashes" "Sound The Horns" and "Eternal ;Liberty". 8 out of 10.
