Wells Valley are a band from Portugal that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very avant garde and progressive mixture of black, sludge and doom metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Achamoth" which was released by Lavadome Productions.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the slower sections of the songs also bringing in elements of sludge and doom metal.
All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while a small amount of blast beats and tremolo picking can be heard when the music speeds up. At times the music also gets very progressive sounding along with some songs also adding in a small amount of clean playing as well as the music also having its avant garde moments as well as the album also adding in a good amount of post metal touches, growls are also added into certain sections of the recording and keyboards are also added towards the end.
On this album Wells Valley brings more more of a progressive and avant garde blackened sludge/doom metal style with some elements of post metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Hermeticism, Philosophy, Spirituality and theology themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Wells Valley and if you are a fan of avant garde and progressive black, sludge, doom and post metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Princeps" and "Indwelling In Matter". 8 out of 10.
