AngelBlast are an international band with members from Sweden and Canada that plays a very melodic and blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their 2022 ep "Throne of Ashes" which will be released on January 30th by Edged Circle.
Atmospheric soundscapes start off the ep before going into more of a heavier and melodic musical direction. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Vocals are mostly black metal screams while death metal growls can also be heard at times along with the music also being heavily rooted in the Swedish style. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the solos and leads are also done in an old school style, keyboards and classical guitars can also be heard briefly.
AngelBlast plays a style of blackened death metal that is very aggressive and melodic in the Swedish tradition. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Nephilim, Giants and Demons.
In my opinion AngelBlast are a very great sounding melodic and blackened death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Tartarus". 8 out of 10.
