Silent Carrion are a 1 man band from Italy that plays a very tribal sounding form of dark ambient with a doom/drone metal edge and this is a review of their self released 2012 album "Andras".
Drums range from slow to mid paced style drumming that utilizes an industrial feeling at times, while the synths and sound effects bring the dark ambient, noise and drone elements to the music, as for the guitars they use heavy distortion to being a drone/doom metal edge to the music mixed in with some clean playing.
Vocals are all spoken word parts along with a brief use of whispers being utilized on one song which gives the music a black metal feeling, while the song themes cover dark and occult themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it while you can still hear all of the musical instruments on this recording with some of the songs being very long and epic in length.
In my opinion Silent Carrion are a very great sounding hybrid of doom, drone, ritual, dark ambient, tribal and noise music and if you are a fan of this style, you should check this band out. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Mountain(An Invocation)" "Copper" and "Krieg". RECOMMENDED BUY.
