The Leaving are an international band with members from Argentina, Germany and the netherlands that plays a mixture of black and doom metal and this is a review of their self titled 2025 ep which will be released in March by Personal Records.
Distorted soundscapes and spoken words start off the ep before going into a heavier doom metal direction while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
When keyboards are utilized they also take the music into more of an atmospheric direction while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. A lot of the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era along with the whole recording also sticking to a slower musical direction, clean playing is also added towards the end.
The leaving plays a musical style that takes and atmospheric form of black metal and mixes it with doom/death metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album and cover the emotional and psychological torment of those left behind in a fractured relationship.
In my opinion The Leaving are a very great sounding atmospheric mixture of black and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "I" "IV" and "VII". 8 out of 10.
