The Munsens are a band from Denver, Colorado that plays a mixture of black, stoner and doom metal with some elements of punk and hardcore and this is a review of their 2019 album "Unhanded" which was released by Sailor Records.
Clean guitars start off the album while black metal screams are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording. During the faster sections of the songs a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard while the slower sections of the songs are very heavily rooted in doom metal.
Elements of atmospheric post black metal can also be heard in some parts of the music while most of the tracks are very long and epic in length. Throughout the recording you can also hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them.
The songs also mix in influences of stoner metal, punk and hardcore throughout all of the tracks along with the solos and leads being done in a very melodic style as well as the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover greed, mortality. misanthropy, religion, history and American capitalism themes.
In my opinion The Munsens are a very great sounding mixture of black, doom and stoner metal with some elements of punk and hardcore and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Pitiful" and "Rivers Of Error". 8 out of 10.
