Varaha are a band from Chicago, Illinois that plays an atmospheric form of doom/death metal with some goth and dark rock and this is a review of their self released and self titled 2016 ep.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the ep and the solos and leads are done in a very melodic direction and add in touches of goth and dark wave and the riffs also use a decent amount of melody and after awhile clean playing and clear vocals are added onto the recording and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them.
Most of the tracks are very long and epic in length and when screams a re utilized they add in touches of black metal and there is also a brief use of violins and all of the songs stick to a very slow direction and takes some traces of 90's influenced doom/death metal and mixes it in with a more modern post metal style.
Varaha plays a musical style that takes goth and goth rock and mixes in some doom, death, black and post metal elements to create a sound of their own, the production sounds very professional for being a self released recording while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Varaha are a very great sounding dark mixture of goth rock, post and doom/death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Ghost". 8 out of 10.
