Embrace Of Thorns - Stench Of The Deceased Martyrs

Review by Catherine Coulon

Embrace Of Thorns is a Greek black metal band that has been active since 1998. Their latest album, Stench Of The Deceased Martyrs, was released in 2021 and it is a brutal and uncompromising piece of black metal music. The album features nine tracks that are filled with aggression, darkness, and violence.

From the first track, "The Darkness That Dwells Beyond," the listener is immediately transported into a world of chaos and despair. The guitar riffs are heavy and fast, the drums are pounding, and the vocals are harsh and intense. The production on the album is excellent, allowing the listener to hear every instrument and every detail of the music.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Obsidian Chamber," which features a slower tempo and a more melodic guitar riff. This track provides a nice break from the relentless aggression of the other tracks while still maintaining the dark and sinister atmosphere of the album.

Stench Of The Deceased Martyrs is a must-listen for fans of black metal. Embrace Of Thorns has created an album that is both brutal and beautiful, filled with intricate melodies and crushing riffs. The band has managed to capture the essence of true black metal while still adding their own unique style to the genre. This album is a testament to the band's dedication to their craft and their ability to create music that is both powerful and emotional.
