Sidirial  are  a  band  from  St.  Louis,  Missouri  that  plays  an  industrial  from  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2020  album  "The  Slumbering"  which  was  re-issued  in  2022  by  Necrotic  Records.

  A  very  epic  sounding  intro  starts  off  the  album  while  also  introducing  synths  into  the  music  which  also  mixes  in  with  the  heavier  sections  of  the  songs  at  times.  Spoken  word  parts  can  also b e  heard  briefly  along  with  the  music  also  adding  in  a  great  amount  of  industrial  elements  and  the  vocals  are  mostly  grim  black  metal  screams.

  Most  of  the  tracks  are  also  very  long  and  epic  in  length  while  the  riffs  also  add  in  a  decent  amount  of  melody.  Growls  can  also  be  heard  at  times  along  with  all  of  the  musical  instruments  on  the  recording  also  having  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  and  when  the  music  speeds  up  a  small  amount  of  blast b eats  can  also  be  heard

   Melodies  are  also  added  into  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  along  with  one  song  also  introducing  spoken  word  parts  and  clear  vocals  into  the  music  as  well  as  the  guitar  leads  also  being  done  in  a  very  melodic  style  when  they  are  utilized,  one  of  the  tracks  is  also  an  instrumental.  The  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  are  based  upon  H.P  Lovecraft's  cosmic  hyper-dimensional  creatures  and  each  track  also  covers  a  different  entity.

  In  my  opinion  Sidirial  are  a  very  great  sounding  industrial  black  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Children  Of  The  Deep"  "Madness  Divine"  and  "Great  Demise".  8  out  of  10.
