The Human Tragedy are a band from Lexington, Kentucky that plays a symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "Upon Waves> The infernO".
Spoken word parts which return on later tracks start off the album while also introducing symphonic sounds which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams mixed in with some growls while the music is very heavily influenced by the mid 90's era of the genre with a modern touch.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some tremolo picking also being added into the faster riffing at times.
Acoustic guitars can also be heard on in certain sections of the album and a few tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as the solos and leads also being done in a melodic style when they are finally utilized. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover human suffering, resilience and the consequences of neglect and isolation.
In my opinion The Human Tragedy are a very great sounding symphonic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Beyond The Veil Of Dreams" "Fear of A Starless Sky" and "Desecrated Grounds". 8 out of 10.
