Drama Noir are a band from Greece that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a symphonic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Nightfall Upon The Asylum" which was released by Floga Records.
Symphonic sounding keyboard start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. Choirs can also be heard briefly along with the faster sections of the album also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats as well ad the riffs also adding in a lot of melody.
Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the vocals bring in a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls. A lot of the music is also very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
One song also adds in a brief use of operatic female vocals as well as one track also adding in a small amount of acoustic guitars, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the writings of H.P Lovecraft, Folklore, Religion and Apocryphism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Dram Noir and if you are a fan of symphonic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "284 Green Street Avenue" "Shepherd Of The Lost" and "Nightfall Upon The Asylum". 8 out of 10.
