Synopsis are a band from Ukraine that plays a symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "Pontifex Maximus".
Symphonic sounding keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Death metal growls can also be heard at times while the songs also add in a good amount of 90's influences as well as remaining modern at the same time. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with one song also adding in a brief use of clear vocals and when t he music finally speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard.
Synopsis plays a style of black metal that is very symphonic and mid tempo sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Ukrainian and cover History, War, Esotericism and Satanism themes.
In my opinion Synopsis are a very great sounding symphonic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Діти Із Бруду" "Земля Скляних Веж" and "Рефлексія". 8 out of 10.
