Obscuris Romancia are a band from Quebec, Canada that plays a symphonic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 ep "The Bringer Of Light".
The sounds of chaos start off the ep before going into a very fast and brutal direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls while the keyboards also give the songs more of a symphonic feeling.
Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the riffs also adding in a lot of melody along with most of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
Obscuris Romancia plays a musical style that goes back to the 90's era of symphonic black metal and mixes it with death metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover the relation of creation between darkness and light.
In my opinion Obscuris Romancia are a very great sounding symphonic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Here Comes The Storm" and "Horror In the garden of Den". 8 out of 10.
