Warfarer are a band from Finland that plays a very melodic and symphonic mixture of folk and death metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "A Tale Beyond The Pale" which was released by Inverse Records.
A very heavy and symphonic sound starts off the album along with some acoustic guitars a few seconds later which also bring in elements of folk music. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and the vocals bring in a mixture of clean singing, death metal growls and black metal screams.
When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with a couple of the songs also introducing spoken word pars onto the album and some tracks also add in a small amount of choirs and shouts, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Warfarer plays a musical style that takes the melodic and symphonic forms of black, death and folk metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album based upon the Finnish Myth of the Brotherslayer.
In my opinion Warfarer are a very great sounding melodic and symphonic mixture of folk and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Heir Uncrowned" "Betrayer" and "The Gates To Realms Beyond". 8 out of 10.
