Aversed are a band from Boston, Massachusetts that plays a melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 album "Impermanent".
Classical guitars and symphonic sounding orchestras start off the album which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. The riffs are also done in a very melodic style while blast beats are also utilized when they music speeds up along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Melodic vocals are also utilized at times while the songs also add in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Elements of death metal are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording along with the music also adding in a good amount of death metal elements and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some songs also adding in growls as well as a alter song also introducing clean playing onto the album and some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length, as the album progresses a brief use of spoken word parts and stringed instruments can also be heard. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover anxiety, depression and the environmental collapse of the planet Earth.
In my opinion Aversed are a very great sounding 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 "Close my Eyes" "Abandoned" "Malaise" and "Nightshade". 8 out of 10.
