Wild Hunt are a band from Oakland, California that plays a progressive and atmospheric mixture of post black and doom metal and this is a review of their 2018 album "Afterdream Of The Reveller" which will be released in April by Vendetta Records.
Atmospheric synths start off the album while spoken word parts can also be heard briefly before going into a heavier direction which also introduces black metal screams onto the recording along with the faster sections of the songs also bringing in a great amount of blast beats.
At times the music gets very progressive and technical along with some touches of death metal in the riffs and growls while all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them as well as some clean vocals also being added into certain sections of the recording.
Most of the tracks are very long and epic in length and while the guitar solos and leads when they are utilized they are done in a very melodic fashion along with some songs also bring in a small amount of acoustic guitars as well as some of the faster sections of the songs also bring in a small amount of tremolo picking.
Wild Hunt plays a musical style that takes atmospheric and post black metal and mixes it with progressive doom metal to create a sound of their own, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover abstract, science and magick themes.
In my opinion Wild Hunt are a very great sounding progressive and atmospheric mixture of post black and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "At Once The Vision And The Seer" "Choir of A Greater Sea" and "Palingenesia". 8 out of 10.
