Scarleth are a band from Ukraine that plays a symphonic mixture of power, doom and gothic metal with some folk and progressive touches and this is a review of their 2015 album "The Silver Lining" which was released by the Leaders Records.
A very dark and symphonic sounding synth starts off the album along with some heavy riffing that also mixes in with the symphonic elements and you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording and the synths also mix in elements of neo classical and progressive rock at times.
Vocals are mostly melodic female vocals that bring a touch of power metal onto the recording while also mixing in aggressive screams that are more closer to black and death metal and the slower riffing brings in a great amount of doom metal elements and the guitar solos and leads also remain true to a very melodic style of metal and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and as the album progresses elements of both folk and Indian music can be heard in some of the tracks and some of the songs are very long and epic in length.
Scarleth plays a style of symphonic gothic metal that is very diverse mixing in the heaviness of black and death metal along with the melody of power metal and elements of progressive and folk music to create something very original, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Scarleth are a very great sounding symphonic gothic metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Double Memory" "One Short life" and "Last Hope". 8 out of 10.
