Visitant are a band from the United States that plays a very melodic and progressive form of blackened death metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Rubidium" which will be released in August by Exitus Stratagem Records.
Keyboards and orchestration start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast b eats can be heard along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams mixes in with a few death metal growls.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Clear singing can also be heard at times along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of female vocals, clean playing is also added on a few songs.
The album also has its progressive moments as well as all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them along with some spoken words can also being utilized briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover ghost stories and metaphysical themes.
In my opinion Visitant are a very great sounding melodic and progressive blackened death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Unworldly" "Rubidium" and "Envy's Lament". 8 out of 10.
