Bornwithhair are a duo from the United States that plays a mixture of arthouse metal and blackened death rock and this is a review of their 2021 album "When The Witches Fall" which will be released in october by Trepanation Recordings.
Acoustic guitars start off the album along with some atmospheric soundscapes in the background while sirens can also be heard briefly. All of the drum beats are also programmed while the vocals also add in a decent amount of black metal screams and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the music also add in a good amount of 80's era death rock. When clean vocals are utilized they also give the songs more of a gothic touch along with the heavier sections of the songs also mixing in elements of avant garde metal as well as a couple of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, as the album progresses a brief use of female vocals and saxophones can also be heard and all of the music sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction.
Bornwithhair plays a musical style that t akes avant garde black metal and death rock and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark and heavy while the lyrics cover dark, apocalyptic and witchcraft themes.
In my opinion Bornwithhair are a very great sounding mixture of arthouse metal and blackened death rock and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this duo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Separated At Death" "Your Skull" and "Exhumed". 8 out of 10.
