Vithial are a solo project from Florida that plays a melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of his self released 2026 album "Awakened Ancient Spirits" which will be released in June.
Dark soundscapes and synths start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's era.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some atmospheric touches also being utilized at times as well as some of the riffing also mixing in elements of old school death metal, clean playing and spoken words can also be heard briefly.
Vithial plays a musical style that takes the melodic and symphonic style of black metal from t he 90's and mixes it with Florida style death metal to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness, spirituality, death, the occult, mythological and dark fantasy themes.
In my opinion Vithial is a very great sounding symphonic and melodic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Masquerading Deception Of Tyranny" and "Awakened Ancient Spirits". 8 out of 10.
