THE BEAST

Greybeard - Dark Age - Reviewed By ADifferentShadeOfBlackMetalZine ! Check it out here at this link: https://darkdoomgrinddeath.blogspot.com/2022/12/greybearddark-age2022-full-length-review.html

Greybeard  are  a  band  from  Calgary,  Alberta,  Canada  that  plays  a  melodic  and  progressive  mixture  of  black  and  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2022  album  "Dark  Age".

  Black  metal  screams  and  heavy  riffing  starts  off  the  album  while  death  metal  growls  can  also  be  heard  at  times.  When  the  music  speeds  up  a  decent  amount  of  blast  beats  can  also  be  heard  along  with  all  of  the  musical  instruments  on  the  recording  also  having  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  and  clear  vocals  can  also b e  heard  at  times.

  When  guitar  solos  and  leads  are  utilized  they  are  also  done  in  a  very  melodic  style  while  the  riffs  also  add  in  a  decent  amount  of  blast  beats.  The  songs  also  add  in  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  along  with  some  of  the  tracks  also  being  very  long  and  epic  in  length,  when  clean  playing  is  utilized  they  also  give  the  music  more  of  a  progressive  feeling  and  spoken  word  parts  can  also  be  heard  briefly.

  Greybeard  plays  a  musical  style  that  takes  the  melodic  and  progressive  forms  of  black  and  death  metal  and  mixes  them  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own.  The  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  are  a  concept  album  and  cover  the  tale  of  a  family  living  in  an  abandoned,  desolate  cityscape  as  the  father's  mental  state  collapses ,  imagining  a  witch  speaking  to  him  about  how  to  save  his  family.

  In  my  opinion  Gerybeard  are  a  very  great  sounding  melodic  and  progressive  mixture  of  black  and  death  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of t hose  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Light  From  1,000  Suns"  "Beneath"  and  "Dark  Age".  8  out  of  10. - ADifferentShadeOfBlackMetalZine

FFO: Dark Fortress, Opeth, Carcass

Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Greybeard are back with the first single off their second full-length album, Dark Age. A blistering track brimming with melody and shred, Terra Umbra clocks in at just over six minutes, but the pace and dynamics make it feel more like three. Filled with hooks and loads of brutality, the song tells the tale of a family lurking in an abandoned, desolate cityscape as the father's mental state collapses, imagining a witch speaking to him about how to save his family.
