Greybeard are a band from Calgary, Alberta, Canada that plays a melodic and progressive mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 album "Dark Age".
Black metal screams and heavy riffing starts off the album while death metal growls can also be heard at times. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them and clear vocals can also b e heard at times.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the riffs also add in a decent amount of blast beats. The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length, when clean playing is utilized they also give the music more of a progressive feeling and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly.
Greybeard plays a musical style that takes the melodic and progressive forms of black and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album and cover the tale of a family living in an abandoned, desolate cityscape as the father's mental state collapses , imagining a witch speaking to him about how to save his family.
In my opinion Gerybeard are a very great sounding melodic and progressive mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of t hose musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Light From 1,000 Suns" "Beneath" and "Dark Age". 8 out of 10.
