United Kingdom's Grim Ravine have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a blackened mixture of sludge and doom metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Upon The Darkest Shores" which will be released in September by Cursed Monk Records.
Clean playing starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while the slower sections of the songs also bring in elements of sludge and doom metal. Vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams and all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Clean playing can also be heard on some of the songs along with some spoken word parts also being utilized briefly along with some blast beats and tremolo picking also being utilized briefly when the music finally speeds up and most of the recording sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction, synths can also be heard briefly towards the end.
On this recording Grim Ravine expands on the blackened mixture of sludge and doom metal that they had established on their previous release. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Grim Ravine and if you are a fan of blackened sludge and doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Colossal Matter" "Singularity" and "Orogenesis". 8 out of 10.
