The Mountain King are a solo project from Germany that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a progressive mixture of post black, doom, death metal and drone and this is a review of his 2024 album "Stoma" which will be released in October by Void Key Recordings.
Synth orientated drones start off the album along with some clean playing a few seconds alter before going into a heavier direction. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the music also gets very progressive sounding at times and the vocals also add in a lot of black metal screams.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard while the slower sections of the album also bring in elements of doom metal. Clear singing is also added into certain sections of the recording along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic post metal style.
A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with some of the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, at times the music also brings in the heaviness of death metal and some of the album also adds in touches of ambient and post hardcore. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover a question of balance between everyday life and the thoughts about the inevitable death of the individual at the end of it.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from The Mountain King and if you are a fan of post black, doom, death, progressive metal and drone, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Space Is Now Tainted" "Stoma" and "To The Caves". 8 out of 10.
