Seer are a band from Vancouver B.C, Canada that plays a mixture of sludge and doom metal with some elements of black metal and NWOBHM and this is a review of their 2019 album "Vol. 6" which will be released in February by Artofact.
Ritualistic sounding instruments and sounscapes start off the album along with some ambient style synths a few seconds later while acoustic guitars can also be heard at times before going into a heavier direction along with all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them.
A great portion of the tracks are very long and epic in length while clean vocals can also be heard at times while the riffs also bring in the heaviness of sludge and doom metal as well as some aggressive growls and screams which also adds in elements of black metal also being utilized at times.
A great amount of melody can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing while the solos and leads are done in a very melodic style along with some blast beats also being used briefly when the music speeds up and as the album progresses elements of NWODHM and folk music are added onto the recording.
Seer plays a musical style that is mostly rooted in sludge and doom metal while the folk, ambient, black metal and NWOBHM elements makes the music stand out a lot more, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album based upon a monk who belongs to a monastery built upon the tallest mountain on the planet.
In my opinion Seer are a very great sounding mixture of sludge and doom metal with some elements of folk, ambient, black metal and NWOBHM and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Seven Stars, Seven Stones" and "As The Light Fades". 8 out of 10.
