Ichor are a band from Germany and on this recording have evolved into more of a blackened death metal band while touches of their deathcore background can still be heard at times and this is a review of their 2018 album "Hadal Ascending" which will be released in December by Unholy Conspiracy Deathwork.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the album along with some melodic riffing also being utilized at times while the vocals are mostly death metal growls as well as the faster sections of the music also adding in a great amount of brutal sounding blast beats and the solos and leads also add in a great amount of melody.
At times the music gets very atmospheric while the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some deathcore elements also being added into some of the mid tempo sections of the music as well as some synths also being added onto some of the tracks and the music also adds in a lot of blackened death metal influences into the faster sections of the songs and grim screams can also be heard briefly and as the album progresses a brief use of chants and clean playing can also be heard.
On this recording Ichor evolved into more of an atmospheric blackened death metal band while touches of their deathcore past can still be heard, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover a fictional story that is very heavily influenced by the occult, science fiction, horror and the writings of H.P Lovecraft.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ichor and if you are a fan of blackened death metal and deathcore, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Tales From The Depths" "In Ecstasy" "Architect of The Portal" and "Conquering The Stars". 8 out of 10.
