Aduanten are a band from the United States that plays a very melodic and experimental mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 ep "Sullen Cadence" which will be released in May.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the ep while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats. Vocals are mostly death metal growls with some blackened screams along with the melodies also being very heavily rooted in black metal and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while acoustic guitars can also be heard briefly. At times the music also gets very experimental sounding along with one of the songs also introducing clean playing, spoken word parts and post punk style synths into as well as some percussion and tribal style beats also being added on a few songs and at times the music also captures the tragic atmosphere of 90's goth and doom metal.
Aduanten plays a musical style that is mostly rooted in the more melodic sides of black and death metal as well as adding in some experimental and post punk elements to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Aduanten are a very great sounding experimental and melodic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Sullen Cadence" and "Palace of Ruin". 8 out of 10.
