Needless are a band from Hungary that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a melodic and progressive mixture of black, death and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Premonition" which was released by inertial Music.
A very fast and melodic sound starts off the album along with a great amount of blast beats while the solos and leads also add in a lot of melody. Vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams mixed in with some clear singing and the riffs also mix in elements of thrash metal.
At times the ,music also gets very progressive sounding while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Spoken words are also added into certain sections of the album along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them, synths can also be heard on a few tracks.
Clean playing can also be heard on a couple of songs along with some of the tracks also being long and epic in length as well as one song also adding in a small amount of saxophones. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover a cosmic-scale reflection on mankind from introspective thoughts and inner thoughts with an existential outlook.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Needless and if you are a fan of melodic and progressive black, death and thrash metal, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Derelict" "As Our Citadels Burn" and "Worlds Forgotten, Dreams Undone'. 8 out of 10.
