Wooden Shadow are a solo project from Finland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a melodic mixture of folk and death metal and this is a review of his 2026 ep "Age Of Tree" which will be released on April 29th by Inverse Records.
Spoken words and acoustic guitars start off the ep which also adds in elements of folk music before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction. Harsh vocals are mostly black metal screams mixed in with some dark metal growls and melodies are also added into a great amount of the guitar riffing.
Clear vocals are also utilized at times while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Synths can also be heard briefly along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in tremolo picking and blast beats as well as the music also having its symphonic moments and most of the songs stick to a mid tempo direction.

On this recording Wooden Shadow takes the melodic and symphonic forms of death and black metal and mixes it with folk metal to create something different. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover different emotional levels.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Wooden Shadow and if you are a fan of melodic and symphonic black, death and folk metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "We Are The North" and "The Great Feast". 8 out of 10.
