High Fells are a band from Denton, Texas that plays a very melodic and blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 album "Catharsis".
Melodic guitar solos and leads start off the album while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and brutal sounding blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the riffing also adding in a great amount of death metal elements.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. Growls can also be heard at times along with all of the musical instruments on the album also having a very powerful sound to them as well as a couple of tracks also adding in a brief use of clean playing, symphonic sounds can also be hear d on the closing song.
High Fells plays a musical style that takes melodic black metal and mixes it with death metal to create a sound of t heir own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover mental and emotional wellness themes.
In my opinion High Fells are a very great sounding melodic blackened death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lingering" "Hypoxian" "Fall With The Sun" and "Where They Call my Name". 8 out of 10.
