Ohio's Valdrin have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an epic, melodic and symphonic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 ep "Apex Violator" which will be released on June 20th by Avantgarde Music.
Dark soundscapes and clean playing starts off the ep before going into a heavier direction while the riffs also add in a lot of melody. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with some symphonic sounding keyboards also being utilized at times and when the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard.
Tremolo picking is also added into some of the faster riffing while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Death metal growls can also be heard at times along with some spoken words also being utilized on a couple of tracks as well as some clear singing also being used briefly.
On this recording Valdrin continue the melodic, epic and symphonic mixture of black and death metal from previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album covering the Ausadjur Mythos.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Valdrin and if you are a fan of epic, melodic and symphonic black and death metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Poison Soul Vents" and "Veins of Akasha". 8 out of 10.
