Now, that’s what I like! A mixture of metal and horror. Agarwaen are hailing from Finland and this is their second full length opus. There are intro and eight more songs on this opus. I love the use of samples, orchestrated keyboard and symphonic parts. This is basically melodic black death metal with modern thrash metal and symphonic black metal influences thrown in for good measure. Vocals are dual, from black metal/Gothenburg death metal screaming vocals to death metal growls and clean spoken word parts. Lyrics are horror based on a story about bloodthirsty cult so the album has some kind of loose concept behind the music. Heavy hitters like ‘Channel Of Lunacy’ with blast beats and melodic hooks, also ‘Graveyard Shift’ and ‘Delirium’ are sure to win you over and let you know that not only King Diamond plays horror metal. There are more extreme yet melodic bands full of energy that do this style of metal and I really enjoyed every single minute of this opus. This album creates a great cold atmosphere, so go grab this one.
“When I was a kid, we lived in a haunted house. Some ‘thing’would walk down the hallway, into my room and just stand at the end of my bed. It looked like an old lady and it scared the hell out of me.
Other people saw it too, but didn’t tell me until years after, thankfully.
I still struggle to sleep alone with the light out…”
“Once my parents had turned my bedroom light out, I just knew the shadow people and that ‘thing’ would show up…”
Syd.31 included a lot of Shadow People in the video. You’ll have to see if you can spot them all. Shadows that are not our own…
Syd.31 are now back into gigging after a long time away due to Lockdown. Drop them a message if you want to talk to them, or want them to play a venue you near you soon.
