Pedestal For Leviathan are a band from Denver, Colorado that plays a symphonic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Enter: Vampyric Manifestation" which will be released in December by Personal Records.
Symphonic sounding synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. Vocals are mostly guttural death metal growls while a group amount of brutal beats are utilized when the music speeds up and the recording also incorporates a great amount of black metal elements.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. Black metal screams are also utilized at times along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing as well as some of the mid tempo sections also adding in touches of slam and deathcore.
Tremolo picking can also be heard in some of the fast riffs and when guitar solos and leads are finally utilized they are also done in a very melodic style as well as the music also being very heavily rooted in the modern era of the genre. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover occultism, Darkness and Horror themes.
In my opinion Pedestal For leviathan 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 "Summoning Sickness" "Purgatory Displacement" "Warlock Blacksmith" and "Nightshade Familiar". 8 out of 10.
