Through Mists are a solo project from Montreal, Quebec, Canada that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on t his recording goes for a very progressive and blackened form of death metal and this is a review of his 2023 album "Homicidal Hamsters' which was released by Syrup Moose Records.
A very fast and brutal sound starts off the album along with a great amount of black metal tremolo picking and blast beats. At times the music also gets very progressive sounding while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them as well as the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very technical style while most of the songs are also instrumentals. Throughout the recording you can also very a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with one song also introducing pianos onto the album and when vocals are added into the music they are mostly death metal growls and black metal screams, clean playing can also be heard briefly.
On this recording Through Mists brings out a very progressive style of blackened death metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover on science experiments by Australian scientists on hamsters which also turned them into cannibals.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Through Mists and if you are a fan of progressive and blackened death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Homicidal Hamsters" "Tonight We Dine On Each Other" and "Hunting The Ones Up High". 8 out of 10.
