Memories Of A Lost Soul are a band from Italy that has been featured before in this zine and plays a melodic mixture of black, death and gothic metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Songs From The Restless Oblivion" which will be released in June by My Kingdom Music.
Epic sounding keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the harsh vocals bring in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams and blast beats are added into the faster sections of the songs.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the clear vocals also bringing in elements of gothic metal.
Clean playing is also added into certain sections of the album along with the recording also having its symphonic moments. At times the music also gets very progressive sounding as well as some female vocals and spoken words also being utilized on a few tracks, tremolo picking is also added into some of the faster riffing and a later track is also an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover abstract, death and darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Memories Of A Lost Soul and if you are a fan of melodic black, death and gothic metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Immortal Rites" "Two Dividing Souls" "Into This Maze Of Torment" and "Prone To Revolting". 8 out of 10.
