Inhibitions are a duo from Greece that plays a symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2018 album "La Danse Macabre" which was released as a joint effort between Satanath Records and Ira Aeterna.
A horror movie orientated sound starts off the album before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction while also introducing symphonic elements onto the recording along with the vocals being mostly grim black metal screams as well as the faster sections of the songs also bringing in a great amount of blast beats.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while spoken word parts can be heard in certain sections of the recording along with all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them, death metal growls can also be heard at times.
Acoustic guitars are also added on some of the tracks while the faster sections of the songs also bring in a decent amount of tremolo picking along with the songs also bringing in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as being very heavily rooted in the 90's, melodic vocals can also be heard on one of the later tracks and a later song also brings in a small amount of acoustic guitars and they close the album with a cover of Satyricon's "K.I.N.G".
Inhibitions plays a style of symphonic black metal that is very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era of the genre, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Inhibitions are a very great sounding symphonic black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Calling" "My Journey To Death" "Harsh Awakening" and "Rusty Razor". 8 out of 10.
