NightWraith are a band from Denver, Colorado that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a melodic mixture of black, doom and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2024 album "Divergence" which will be released in September.
Synths start off the album before going into more of a heavier direction while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly grim black metal screams along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody and the slower sections of the songs bring in elements of doom metal.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard while the solos and leads are done in a very melodic style. Clear vocals and spoken word parts can also be heard on a couple of tracks along with the album also having its progressive moments and death metal growls are also a very huge part of the recording.
Pedal steel guitars, baritone saxophones, and flutes are added on some of the tracks along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, clean playing can also be heard briefly and they also bring in a cover of Pink Floyd's "Us And Them". The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the heart of being human.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from NightWraith and if you are a fan of melodic and progressive black, doom and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Perpetual Night" "Fallen Kings And Queens" and "Us And Them". 8 out of 10.
