Night Crowned are a band from Sweden that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Tales" which will be released on November 10 by Noble Demon.
Dark sounding keyboards start off the album before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls while the faster sections of the songs also also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while folk instruments can also be heard on a couple of tracks. Clean playing can also be heard on a few songs along with one track also introducing female vocals onto the album as well as the keyboards also making a return in certain sections of the album, clear vocals also make their presence known at times.
On this recording Might Crowned expands on their melodic mixture of black and death metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture of Swedish and English and cover nihilism, death, darkness and apocalyptic themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Night Crowned and if you are a fan of melodic black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "She Comes At Night" "Flickan Som Forsvann" and "Old Tales". 8 out of 10.
