Hellevorn are a band from Spain that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a melodic mixture of doom, death and gothic metal with some touches of black metal and this is a review of their 2019 album "Aamamata" which was released as a joint effort between Solitude Productions and BadMoodMan.
A very heavy and melodic sound starts off the album along with the slower sections of the music being very heavily rooted in doom metal. Keyboards are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the music while the vocals are mostly death metal growls and clean goth vocals are also utilized at times.
All of the musical instruments on the recording have a very powerful sound to them along with the solos and leads being done in a very melodic style. Acoustic guitars are also added on some of the tracks as well as some spoken word parts also being utilized quite a bit as the album progresses.
Some of the tracks are very long and epic in length along with some ethnic style instruments and female vocals are also added on a later tracks as well as some of the music also showing a slight black metal influence and all of the music sticks to a slower direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover solitude, dreams and past time themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Hellevorn and if you are a fan of goth, doom and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Sail To Sanity" "Blackened Waves" "Forgotten Fields" and "The Path To Puya". 8 out of 10.
