Mythbegotten are a band with embers from Central new York and New England that plays an epic form of folk metal and this is a review of their self released 2024 album "Tales From The Unseele Court".
Field recordings and distorted soundscapes start off the album along with some folk instruments and symphonic sounds which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Power metal style vocals are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Death metal growls can also be heard at times along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a lot of blast beats and the album also adds in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with some songs also adding in small amount of clean playing and acoustic guitars. One song also introduces black metal screams onto the album as well as some female vocals also being utilized at times, the recording also has its progressive moments. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the mythologies of England, Scotland and Ireland, Arthurian Legends and the writings of H.P Lovecraft, John Milton and J.R.R Tolkien.
In my opinion Mythbegotten are a very great sounding epic folk metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Headless Horseman" "The Fall" and "Of Wrath And Ruin". 8 out of 10.
