Finland's Kaamos Warriors have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric, melodic and symphonic mixture of black and dark metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Spirit From The Void" which will be released in April by inverse Records.
A very dark, heavy and atmospheric sound starts off the album while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. When keyboards are utilized they also give the music more of a symphonic feeling along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody.
Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls while the songs also mix in a a lot of dark metal elements. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken word parts, clean playing and acoustic guitars can also be heard in certain sections of the recording.
The slower sections of the songs also show an influence of the more melodic side of the early 90's doom/death metal era along with some gothic metal touches and most of the music sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture of Finnish and English and cover darkness, winter, night and chaos themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Kaamos Warriors and if you are a fan of atmospheric, melodic and symphonic black and dark metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "In Blood And Spirit" "The Flames of the Dragon" "Into Thy Light" and "Surrun mustat siivet". 8 out of 10.
