Finland's I Helvete has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a melodic blackened death metal direction and this is a review of their 2023 album "Yksi Yhteinen Yhteiskunta" which will be released on November 24th by Inverse Records.
Tragic sounding piano's and keyboards start off the alum before going into more of a heavier and melodic musical direction. Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly while the solos and leads also add in a great amount of melody along with the vocals being mostly black metal screams and the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while mandolin's, violin's and accordion's are also added on some of the tracks. Tremolo picking can also be heard in some of the faster riffing along with some death metal growls also being utilized at times.
One song also introduces female vocals onto the album along with some spoken word parts and clean playing also being utilized briefly and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Finnish and is a concept album based upon society themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from I Helvete and if you are a fan of melodic blackened death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "KKK" "Paratiisi" and "V niin kuin vallankumous". 8 out of 10.
