Magnetar are a band from the United Kingdom that plays a melodic mixture of black, death and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "There Will Be No peace In My Valley" which will be released in September by Vendetta Records.
Drum beats start off the album before going into more of a melodic thrash metal direction while t he vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Elements of death metal are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording along with the solos and leads also adding in a lot of melody.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Clean playing, classical guitars and synths can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with one song also adding in a small amount of clear vocals.
The album also adds in a good mixture of both old school and modern influences as well as a couple of tracks also being very long and epic in length. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover conspiracy theory themes, a society reminiscent of George Orwell's "1984" and anti religion themes.
In my opinion Magnetar are a very great sounding melodic mixture of black, death and thrash metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "SCUM" "There Will Be No Peace In My Valley" and "Adorned In Flame". 8 out of 10.
