Ter Ziele are a band from the Netherlands that plays a mixture of post black, sludge and doom metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Embodiment Of Death" which will be released in February by Tartarus Records.
A synth orientated intro 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. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the vocals being a mixture of blackened metal screams and growls.
Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while some of the songs also add in a small amount of clean playing. When guitar leads are utilized they also bring in more of a post metal style along with the music also having its atmospheric moments and when the music finally speeds up a small amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard.
Ter Ziele plays a musical style that takes post black, sludge and doom metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the haunting side of the human condition.
In my opinion Ter Ziele are a very great sounding mixture of post black, sludge and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Separation Of Body And Soul" and "This Mortal Coil". 8 out of 10.
