Revenience are a band from Italy that plays a very modern and symphonic form of gothic metal and this is a review of their 2016 album "Daedalum" which was released by Sliptrick Records.
Factory sounds start off the album before adding in symphonic keyboards and violins which also mix in with elements of electronic music and after awhile operatic choirs are added into certain sections of the recording giving the songs more of an epic feeling and on the second track heavy guitars start mixing in with the symphonic elements.
Vocals are all female vocals that also gives the music more of a goth metal feeling and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and death metal growls are also added into the music at times along with a slight use of blackened screams and the riffs also use melodies at times.
You can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording while clean playing can also be heard at times and there is also a brief use of blast beats and as the album progresses they bring in a ballad track an d most of the heavier tracks stick to either a slow or mid paced musical direction and there is also a brief use of acoustic guitars.
Revenience plays a musical style that takes a modern style of goth metal and mixes it in with the heaviness of death and black metal while also adding in the more symphonic style to create a musical style of their own, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark, depressive and poetic themes.
In my opinion Revenience are a very great sounding modern symphonic/gothic metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Blown Away By The Wind" "Lone Island" and "Revenant". 8 out of 10.
