Germany's Crestfallen Queen have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a progressive form of blackened doom metal with some elements of occult rock and this is a review of their 2024 album "Horns" which was released by Vocem Interiorem Manifestations.
A very slow, dark and heavy sound starts off the album where you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the harsh vocals are mostly black metal screams and elements of doom metal are added into the slower sections of the songs.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the clean sections of the songs also take the music into more of a progressive direction. Clear male and female vocals are also added into some parts of the album and blast beats can also be heard at times.
Keyboards are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording along with the solos and leads also being done in a very dark yet melodic style as well as some of the tracks also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, tremolo picking can also be heard in some of the faster riffing and some tracks also add in acoustic guitars. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism, Paganism, Mythology, Philosophy and Dark themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Crestfallen Queen and if you are a fan of progressive blackened doom metal with elements of occult rock, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Horns" "Wyllt" and "Arcane Sorcerer Pt.2 Wyrd's Lament". 8 out of 10.
