NorthZyklon are a band from Russia that plays a melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Inter Eos" which was released by Atra Anduin Records.
A very fast, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the music is also very heavily rooted in the classic Swedish style and the guitar solos and leads also add in a great amount of melody.
Throughout the album you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the songs also add in a great amount of death metal elements as well as a small amount of growls. Throat singing and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them, one of the tracks also introduces clean playing into the music and one song is also an instrumental
NorthZyklon plays a musical style that takes the melodic forms of black and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness, death and occultism themes.
In my opinion NorthZyklon are a very great sounding melodic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dance Of The Black Fire" "Non-God-Non-Father" "Sarke" and "Dissolving In A Dream". 8 out of 10.
