Raven Wundis are a solo project from the Philippines that plays a melodic and progressive mixture of black and death emtal with elements of jazz fusion and this is a review of his self released 2023 album "In Shadows Summon Divinity".
Clean playing and clear vocals start off the album while also adding in progressive touches and elements of jazz fusion which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard and the vocals also add in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them.
Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with some synths also being utilized on a few songs. Spoken word parts and acoustic guitars can also be heard briefly and the pianos also give the songs more of an avant garde touch. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album based upon the origin tale of the celestial sphere and an, in t he eys of Orhyd - an ancient god.
In my opinion Raven Wundis are a very great sounding melodic mixture of black, death metal and jazz fusion and if you are a fan of t hose musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Vision Of Collapsing Stars" and "Of Primal Quickening". 8 out of 10.
