Symbiotic Growth are a band from Ontario, Canada that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a very progressive and blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Beyond The Sleepless Aether" which was released by Bolverk Records.
A very dark yet distorted sound starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some spoken words also being used on a couple of songs.
Vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of tremolo piking and blast beats. Keyboards can also be heard at times along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
At times the music also gets very technical and progressive sounding along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them. Clear singing can also be heard in certain sections of the album and the riffs also add in a lot of melody, clean playing is also added on a couple of tracks. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept revolving around the multiverse
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Symbiotic Growth and if you are a fan of progressive blackened death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Of Painted Skies And Dancing Lights" "The Sleepless Void" and "Trading Thoughts For Sleep". 8 out of 10.
