Yevabog are a solo project from Seattle, Washington that h as had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very atmospheric and melodic form of blackened death metal and this is a review of his self released 2022 album "Between Two Fires".
A very fast and melodic sound starts off the album along with a great amount of blast beats while the synths also ad d in some symphonic touches. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's era and clear chants can also be heard briefly.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric while the song also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Tremolo picking is also added into some of the faster riffing along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.as well as one song also introducing clean playing and clear vocals onto the album.
On this recording Yevabog takes the atmospheric, symphonic and melodic styles of 90's era black metal and mixes it with death emtal to create a very diverse recording. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover possession and betrayal themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Yevabog and if you are a fan of atmospheric, melodic and symphonic black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Golden Reaper" and "22 Disciples Of Hell". 8 out of 10.
