Darklore are a band from Australia that plays a fantasy themed symphonic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released album "The Great Elven War" which will be released in 2026.
Nature, rain and thunder sounds start off the album before going into a heavier direction will all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Symphonic and orchestral sounds are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording and the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams.
Death metal growls are also used quite a bit throughout the recording while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. Clean playing is also added into certain sections of the album along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized as well as the music also adding in a lot of blast beats when the album speeds up
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with some of the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover fantasy themes inspired by the video games of Skyrim, The Witcher 3, Diablo and the cinematic epics Lord Of The Rings and Game Of thrones.
In my opinion Darklore are a very great sounding symphonic 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 "The Hunting Grounds" "Servants Of Sauron" and "Wrath Of The High Heavens". 8 out of 10.
