Burning Creation are a band from Poland that plays a melodic mixture of viking, black and death metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Sea Of Dead Bodies" which was released by Via Nocturna.
Water sounds start off the album along with some epic sounding keyboards a few seconds later before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. A lot of the album is also very heavily rooted in the Swedish style along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the closing track is an Amon Amarth cover.
Burning Creation plays a viking themed form of melodic blackened death metal in the Swedish tradition. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Nordic Mythology, Vikings, Scandinavian Folklore and Historical Events.
In my opinion Burning Creation are a very great sounding melodic mixture of viking, black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Eaten By Hulder" "The Einherjer's Return" "Under The Fading Sun" and "As The ocean Takes us Down". 8 out of 10.
