Karavan are a band from Norway that plays a psychedelic mixture of black, sludge, stoner and doom metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Unholy Mountain" which was released as a joint effort between Evil Noise Recordings and Vinyltroden.
Clean playing starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while the slower sections of the songs also bring in elements of sludge and doom metal. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and psychedelic soundscapes are also utilized at times.
Stone r metal style melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they bring in more of a retro proto metal style and most of the recording sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction, synths can also be heard briefly.
Karavan plays a musical style that takes black, sludge, stoner and doom metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover occultism and the mysteries of the universe.
In my opinion Karavan are a very great sounding psychedelic mixture of black, sludge, stoner and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Throne" "demon Slime" and "Unholy Mountain"{. 8 out of 10.
