Band name and album title: Deimhal with The Grand Gathering

Genre: Symphonic Black Metal

Release date and label: This EP was self-released on May 19, 2023.

Other band releases: After two singles, this is their first EP.

How did I get to know the band: This new band from Finland introduced me to Metal Devastation Radio with their current EP. So let's listen:

What do I think of the record: So far so good, the vocals are really good, the instruments also show some potential and the symphonic elements aren't too intrusive. Not bad for a first EP. They have already released the first two songs as singles.

Although both singles are good, I think VENGANCE OF THE NIGHT CROWS is the best. It's really reminiscent of Dimmu Borgir, but it has a distinct style of its own. Here the symphonic synth is used throughout, but this gives the banging an epic touch.

Conclusion: The EP clearly shows the band's potential: Pretty good, but there's still room for improvement, so fans of black metal with an orchestral influence can be excited about what's to come. Until then, I recommend taking a look here: fullmetalmayhem
