Ianthan are a solo project from France that plays a very atmospheric, dissonant, avant garde and experimental mixture of black and doom metal and this is a review of his 2025 ep "Pinacles austères" which was released by Hypnotic Dirge Records.
Keyboards start off the ep and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times while elements of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the recording. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while both the riffs and solos also add in a god amount of dissonant melodies.
At times the music also gets very avant garde and experimental sounding while some tracks also add in a small amount of clear vocals. The ep also has its atmospheric moments along with some blast beats and tremolo picking also being utilized when the music speeds up. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them as well as one song also adding in a brief use of spoken words, trumpets are also used briefly and a later track is also an instrumental.
Ianthan plays a musical style that takes a very experimental and avant gadre form of black metal and mixes it with doom metal to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in French and cover dark and philosophical themes.
In my opinion Ianthan is a very great sounding atmospheric, dissonant, avant garde and experimental mixture of black and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genre, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Caverne" and "Parvenu". 8 out of 10.
