Drofnosura are a band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada that plays an atmospheric mixture of black, sludge and post metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Ritual Of Split Tongues" which was released by Transcending Obscurity Records.
Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the slower sections of the songs also add in elements of sludge and doom metal. Clear singing can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording along with most of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and spoken words are also used at times.
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the harsh vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing, synths are also utilized at times.
The album also has its atmospheric moments along with some growls also being added into certain sections of the recording. Influences of post metal are also a very huge part of the recording as well as the guitar solos and leads also adding in a very dissonant yet melodic style when they are utilized and all of the songs stick to either a slow or mid tempo direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark and ritualistic themes.
In my opinion Drofnosura are a very great sounding atmospheric mixture of black, sludge, doom and post metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Selection Of A Corpse" and "The Well of Seven Heads". 8 out of 10.
