Deimhal - The Grand Gathering - Reviewed By darkdoomgrinddeath ! https://darkdoomgrinddeath.blogspot.com/search?q=Deimhal+-+The+Grand+Gathering

Deimhal are a band from Finland that plays a very symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 ep "The Grand Gathering".

A very dark and heavy sound starts off the ep while all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal s creams along with the synths also giving the music more of a symphonic feeling when they are utilized.

Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era. Clean playing can also b e heard briefly When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and all of the songs also stick to a more mid tempo direction, clear vocals can also be heard briefly and on the closing track a small amount of fast tremolo picking and blast b eats can b e heard.

Deimhal plays a style of black metal that is very symphonic and mid tempo sounding in the mid 90's tradition. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness themes.

In my opinion Deimhal are a very great sounding symphonic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Alliance Of Winter" and "Vengeance Of the Night Crows". 8 out of 10. darkdoomgrinddeath
