St. Unholyness are a band from Germany that plays a mixture of black, doom, stoner, thrash metal and blues rock and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "Through High Holt Haze" which will be released on Christmas.
Clean playing starts off the album while also adding in some psychedelic touches which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Elements of doom and stoner metal are also added into the slower sections of recording and the solos and leads bring in more of a melodic blues rock, proto metal style.
Vocals bring in more of a clear stoner rock style while a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Whispers are also utilized briefly along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats and the harsh vocals are mostly black metal screams.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them. A lot of the mid tempo sections of the album also bring in the aggression of thrash metal, synths are also utilized at times and some of the vocals also add in shouts and death metal growls. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover survival, empowerment and resilience.
In my opinion St. Unholyness are a very great sounding mixture of black, death, doom, stoner, thrash metal and blues rock and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Heaven's Harem" "Alchemist Blues" and "St. Unholyness". 8 out of 10.
