Shezmu are a band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada that plays a mixture of black, doom and death metal and this is a review of their 2020 album "A Travers Les Lambeaux" which will be released in July by Krucyator Productions.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the album while a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Elements of doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs along with the vocals also adding in a great amount of deep sounding death emtal growls.
When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can also be heard while dark sounding melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing. Black metal screams are also added into some parts of the recording along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Tremolo picking can also be heard in some of the faster riffing along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them. The songs also mix in a great amount of 90's influences but still maintaining a very modern day brutality as well as the guitar solos and leads being done in a very old school, dark, melodic yet chaotic style.
As the album progresses a brie use of ritualistic and tribal percussion's as well as some acoustic guitars can be heard briefly before returning back to a heavier direction. The production sounds very dark and heavy while the lyrics are written in French and cover Egyptian Mythology and Ancient History themes.
In my opinion Shezmu are a very great sounding mixture of black, doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Travers Les Lambeaux" "Ode A Hathor" and "Lex Talionis". 8 out of 10.
