Swansong are a band from Finland that plays a mixture of folk, melodic death and heavy metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Awakening" which will be released in December by Noble Demon.
Melodic guitar solos and leads start off the album while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them and the music also adds in a lot of 80's and 90's traditional metal influences.
When the music speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard while one song also adds in a brief use of spoken word parts. A lot of the music also brings in a more modern day aggression along with the clean sections also bringing in elements of folk music when they are introduced onto the recording and most of the album also sticks to more of a mid tempo direction.
Swansong plays a musical style that takes folk, melodic, black, death and heavy metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness, death, nature and witchcraft themes.
In my opinion Swansong are a very great sounding mixture of folk, melodic black, death and heavy metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Burning Flames" "Frost Of Winter" "Awakening" and "Fury Of The Witch". 8 out of 10.
