Highgate are a band from Kentucky that plays a mixture of black, sludge and doom metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Prophecies Of Eternal Doom" which will b e released on March 27th by Horror Pain Gore Death Productions.
Psychedelic soundscapes and acoustic guitars start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the slower sections of the album also bring in elements of sludge and doom metal. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with most of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this album. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the solos and leads also bringing in more of a classic metal'rock style as well as a couple of songs also adding in a small amount of spoken words, growls are also added into certain sections of the album.
Highgate plays a musical style that takes black, sludge and doom metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover global war atrocities, religious fanaticism and class warfare.
In my opinion Highgate are a very great sounding mixture of black, sludge and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Terraforming Hell" and "The Writing Dawn". 8 out of 10.
