Atavistia are a band from Vancouver B.C, Canada that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very melodic and symphonic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2024 album "Inane Ducam" which will be released on July 19th.
A very dark sounding intro starts off the ep while also introducing symphonic elements a few seconds later which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. Clear vocals can also be heard at times along with the harsh vocals bringing in a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls.
When the music speeds a great amount of blast beats can be heard while the riffs also add in a lot of melody. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and the closing track is also very long and epic in length
On this recording Atavistia brings out a very modern, melodic and symphonic style of blackened death metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover beauty and solace within the darkest depths of one's own mind and soul
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Atavistia and if you are a fan of melodic and symphonic blackened death metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Timeless Despair" and "The VOid". 8 out of 10.
