Our Take
Our Take
BLAZE OF SORROW's latest offering, "Astri," is a whimsical journey through the depths of melancholy and despair. From start to finish, this Italian black metal band takes listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions, blending haunting melodies with intense screams and guttural growls.
The album kicks off with the atmospheric intro track, setting the tone for what's to come. As the guitar riffs cascade over thunderous blast beats, it's hard not to get swept up in the sheer intensity of it all. The band's ability to seamlessly transition between delicate acoustic passages and ferocious black metal onslaughts is truly impressive.
Vocalist Blaze delivers a performance that is both raw and emotional, adding an extra layer of depth to the already haunting instrumentation. His screams pierce through the wall of sound, carrying the listener through a whirlwind of emotions.
Despite the heavy subject matter, there are moments of respite scattered throughout the album. Tracks like "Eclipse" and "Aurora" showcase the band's versatility, incorporating elements of folk and post-rock to create moments of quiet introspection amidst the chaos.
In the end, "Astri" is a haunting and unforgettable listening experience that will leave you both devastated and entranced. BLAZE OF SORROW have crafted an album that is equal parts beautiful and brutal, a true testament to the power of black metal.
