Daidalos are a solo project from Germany that h as been featured before in this zine and plays a symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of their album "Dante" which will be released in 2026 by Rockshots Records.
Nature soundscapes start off the album before introducing grim black metal vocals and symphonic elements which also takes the music into a heavier direction. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats.
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. Growls are also utilized at times along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them as well as the album also having its atmospheric moments and a couple of tracks also adds in a small amount of operatic vocals and clear singing.
On this recording Daidalos remains true to the symphonic style of black metal which he introduced on his previous release. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album based upon the writings of Dante Alighieri.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Daidalos and if you are a fan of symphonic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Inferno" "King" "Dis" and "Ultimatum". 8 out of 10.
