Paradise in Flames are a band from Brazil that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a symphonic mixture of black and death metal with elements of Brazilian folk music and this is a review of their 2024 album "Blindness" which will b e released in July as a joint effort between Xaninho Discos and Demoncratic Records.
Symphonic sounding keyboards and orchestration start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls while clear female operatic singing and choirs can also be heard at times and blast beats are also added into the faster sections of the songs.
Spoken word parts can also be heard on a few tracks while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts
Tremolo picking and also be heard in a lot of the faster riffing along with some of the songs also adding in touches of Brazilian bossa nova. Clear male vocals are also added on some of the tracks and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover a philosophical work that describes religions as a psychological illness.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Paradise In Flames and if you are a fan of symphonic black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Black Wings" "The Cure" and "Angels And Devils". 8 out of 10.
