When Nothing Remains are a band from Sweden that plays a mixture of goth, doom and death metal and this is a review of their 2016 album "In Memoriam" which was released by Solitude Productions.
Nature sounds and synths start off the album along with some spoken word parts also being utilized at times and the music also mixes in a very tragic and atmospheric musical style and after awhile the music starts going into more of a heavy and melodic musical style that is in more of a doom metal vein.
When solos and leads are utilized they remain true to a very melodic and depressive musical style and most of the tracks are very long and epic in length and they also utilize a lot of death metal growls that are very easy to understand while some clean singing goth vocals are also brought into some parts of the songs.
Spoken word parts can be heard in the music briefly and the songs also bring back a lot of the early 90's atmospheric doom/death metal style while also mixing in some more modern symphonic elements and when screams are used for a few seconds they bring in a touch of black metal and there are also female vocals on one of the later songs and they give the music more of an operatic feeling and the whole album also sticks to a very slow musical direction.
When Nothing Remains plays a style of gothic doom/death metal that is very atmospheric and rooted in the 90's while also mixing in more modern symphonic elements to update the genre for modern days, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover sorrow, love and tragedy themes.
In my opinion When Nothing Remains are a very great sounding mixture of goth, doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Drowning In Sorrows" "Ghost Story" and "While She Sleeps". 8 out of 10.
