Netherlands's Misanthropia have returned with a new recording which moves away from the symphonic elements of previous releases and goes for more of a melodic and progressive mixture of black, death and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Envy The Dead" which will be released in September by WormHoleDeath Records.
A very horror orientated soundtrack intro starts off the album while also introducing clean playing and keyboards onto the album which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing and the faster parts of the tracks also add in a great amount of blast beats.
Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with a couple of the tracks also being long and epic in length.
Elements of death and thrash metal can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style. Tremolo picking can also be heard in some of the fast riffs as well as the album also having its progressive moments. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album covering horror, necromancy and Jack The Ripper and other historical stories.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Misanthropia and if you are a fan of melodic and progressive black, death and thrash metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Malediction And Laughter" "Maze Of Madness" and "A Deadly Embrace, A Sinister Grace". 8 out of 10.
