Moonscar are a solo project from Greece that plays a very atmospheric, gothic and symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of her 2021 album "Blood Moon" which was released by Supreme Music Creations.
Clean playing starts off the album before going into a very fast musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Symphonic sounding synths are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the songs while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
A lot of t he music is also very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era while the music also has its atmospheric moments. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
A couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody, elements of gothic metal can also be heard at times and clear male vocals can also be heard briefly as the album progresses. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes with some inspirations from the writings of Edgar Allan Poe.
In my opinion Moonscar are a very great sounding atmospheric, gothic and symphonic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Blood Moon" and "Abyssal Eclipse". 8 out of 10.
