Gales Of Avalon are a band from Calgary, Alberta, Canada that plays a melodic mixture of pagan black metal and death''n'roll and this is a review of their self released 2022 ep "Oblivion" which will be released on September 23rd.
A very hard and heavy sound starts off the ep while synths can also be heard at times along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and the vocals are mostly death metal growls and influences of black metal can also be heard at times.
Elements of death'n'roll can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording while clear pagan vocals can also are also utilized on a couple of tracks. Some of the music also adds in a touch of classic rock at times along with all of the songs also sticking to either a slow or mid tempo direction.
Gales Of Avalong plays a musical style that takes the melodic forms of black, pagan and death metal and mixes them with death'n'roll to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Celtic mythology themes.
In my opinion Gales Of Avalon are a very great sounding melodic mixture of pagan black metal and death'n'roll and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "No Going Back" and "Purgatory". 8 out of 10.
