Illusion Of Fate are a band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin that plays a very atmospheric, melodic and technical form of blackened death metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 album "King Of Serpents".
Rain and thunder sounds start off the album before going into a heavier musical direction while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding and the vocals ad d in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams.
Synths are also utilized at times while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. The music also has its technical moments as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style, spoken word parts can also be heard in certain sections of the recording.
Illusion Of Fate plays a musical style that takes the atmospheric, technical and melodic 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 cover darkness and occultism themes.
In my opinion Illusion Of Fate are a very great sounding atmospheric, melodic and technical blackened death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "King Of Serpents Movement II: The Warlock" "March Of The Lepers" and "Paradigm of Madness". 8 out of 10.
