End Of Dawn are a band from Greece that plays a very atmospheric, gothic and symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2024 album "Primordial Darkness".
Symphonic sounding keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody and the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams.
Operatic vocals are also utilized at times which also adds in touches of gothic metal while the album also has its atmospheric moments. Clean playing is also added into certain sections of the recording along with some spoken words also being utilized at times and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can also be heard along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. A couple of tracks are also long and epic in length as well as some death metal growls also being used at times, clear male vocals can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover death, darkness, chaos, damnation, occultism and suffering themes.
In my opinion End Of Dawn are a very great sounding atmospheric, gothic and symphonic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dawn of Decay" "Stepping Into Oblivion" "The Fall Of The Rebel" and "Breaking The Pendulum". 8/5 out of 10.
