Greece's W.E.B have returned with a new recording which they take their symphonic mixture of black and gothic metal to the live stage and this is a review of their album "Darkness Alive" which will be released in 2026 by Metal Blade Records.
Live audience reaction start off the album along with some folk instruments a few seconds later while also introducing symphonic and orchestral elements which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. Vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams while operatic vocals are also utilized at times.
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Touches of gothic metal are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing as well as the album also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with a couple of the tracks also being long and epic in length. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism, Darkness and Armageddon themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from W.E.B and if you are a fan of symphonic black and gothic metal, you should check out this live album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Crimson Dawn" "Into Hell Fire We Burn" "Necrology" and "Eigios". 8 out of 10.
