Destrania - Divine Archaic Lore - Reviewed by ADifferentShadeOfBlackMetalZine ! Check it out here at this link: https://darkdoomgrinddeath.blogspot.com/2022/06/destraniadivine-archaic-lore20220-full.html

  Destrania  are  a  solo  project  from  Clarkston,  Washington  that  plays  an  instrumental,  progressive  and  symphonic  mixture  of  black  and  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  his  self  released  2020  album  "Divine  Archaic  Lore".

  Symphonic  style  keyboards  start  off  the  album  and  also  add  in  a  variety  of  many  different  sounding  keys  while  also  mixing  in  with  the  heavier  sections  of  the  songs  at  times.  Melodies  can  also  be  heard  in  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  along  with  the  solos  and  leads  also being  done  in  a  very  melodic  yet  progressive  style.

  All  of  the  musical  instruments  on  the  recording  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  while  the  faster  sections  of  the  songs  also  add  in  a  great  amount  of  blast  beats,  black  and  death  metal  elements.  Throughout  the  album  you  can  also  hear  a  decent  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  along  with  the  music  also  showing  an  influence  of  classical  music  at  times  as  well  as  one  of  the  tracks  also  being  very  long  and  epic  in  length.

  Destrania  plays  a  musical  style  that  takes  black,  death,  symphonic,  progressive  metal  and  neo-classical  and  mixes  them  together  to  create  a  sound  of  his  own  as  well  as  keeping  everything  instrumental  while  the  production  also  sounds  very  dark.

  In  my  opinion  Destrania  are  a  very  great  sounding  instrumental,  progressive  and  symphonic  mixture  of  black  and  death  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  solo  project.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Abandoned"  and  "The  Mountain  Of  Sorrow".  8  out  of  10. - ADifferentShadeOfBlackMetalZine

Short Bio: Destrania is a one-man project created by Nick Goodwin. Destrania pulls inspiration from bands such as Dimmu Borgir, but also has their own unique sound. Mixing a traditional Symphonic Metal signature, with elements from many other sub genres such as Black Metal and Death Metal, but with a progressive and often more melodic tone, every song has its own unique flair and style. Hard and heavy passages make way to soft and subdued moments. Complex rhythms and textures flow into simple yet beautiful moments throughout. Much like an epic journey, there's always something new waiting ahead.
