In The Woods... are a band from Norway that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very avant garde and progressive form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Otra" which will be released in April by Prophecy Productions.
Acoustic guitars and keyboards start off the album along with some clear singing before going into more of a heavier direction. Harsh vocals are mostly black metal screams along with most of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
At times the music also gets very progressive and avant garde sounding while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with one song also adding in a brief use of female vocals and all of the tracks stick to either a slow or mid tempo direction.
On this recording In The Woods... focuses more on an avant garde and progressive style of metal with some elements of black metal which also gives the album more of an aggressive edge. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Philosophy, Introspection and Sadness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from in the Woods... and if you are a fan of avant garde and progressive black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Things You Shouldn't Know" "The Kiss And The Lie" and "Come Ye Sinners'. 8 out of 10.
