Sweven - The Eternal Resonance (2020)^{Release ID: 18173}

I really enjoyed how this album flowed and how it was able to sound unique to this new group. I can hear a spattering of death metal elements through some of the guitar riffs and the lead singers vocal timbre, but it sounds fresh and exciting, not in your typical melodic death metal sense. I've seen people bring up elements of psychedelic rock and while I can somewhat agree, I think that Post-Metal is probably the more accurate term for this. There are even a handful of slower, brooding sections that could be an extension of the death doom genre, which I also appreciated.

The sound of this album is crisp and poignant. The bass is emphatic at driving the tunes home and the melodic and harmonic phrasing of each tune is commendable. Don't have all that much to say about this except that it is an excellent post-rock/progressive metal album that has been well received early on. Highly recommended.
