Primalfrost are a solo project from Toronto, Ontario, Canada that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very melodic and symphonic mixture of black, death and folk metal and this is a review of his self released 2021 album "Lost Elegies" which will be released on December 28th.
Symphonic sounds start off the album and also mix in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. The riffs also add in a great amount of melody while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style and when the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard.
Vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the music also adding in a great amount of orchestrations.
Some of the melodies also show an influence of power and traditional metal along with some elements of folk metal also being utilized at times as well as a couple of songs also adding in a brief use of classical guitars one of which is also a brief instrumental, a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and as the album progresses a brief use of clean playing can also be heard. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover battles, quests and rebellion against tyrannical rule themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Primalfrost and if you are a fan of melodic and symphonic black, death and folk metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Maelstrom" "Voyage into Ruin" and "T4enebrous Skies". 8 out of 10.
