Thera Roya are a band from New York that plays a mixture of sludge and post metal and this is a review of their self released 2017 album "Stone And Skin" which will be released in February.
Atmospheric soundscapes start off the album and after awhile clean playing is added onto the recording and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and after awhile melodic vocals are added onto the recording and the guitar solos and leads bring in a more post metal style to the recording.
When the riffs get heavy they bring in the heaviness of sludge and doom metal while also utilizing a decent amount of melody and the vocals also bring in aggressive screams and death metal growls at times along with a decent portion of the tracks being very long and epic in length and there is also a brief use of spoken word samples as the album progresses and all of the tracks stick to either a slow or mid paced musical direction and one of the tracks is all instrumental.
Thera Roya plays a musical style t hat takes sludge and doom metal and mixes it in with the more progressive side of post metal along with a touch of death metal to create a sound of their own, the production sounds very professional for being a self released recording while the lyrics cover dark and mythological themes.
In my opinion Thera Roya are a very great sounding mixture of sludge and post metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Egypt's Light" Solitude" and "Phaedrus'. 8 out of 10.
