Ataraxie are a band from France that plays an extreme mixture of funeral doom and death metal and this is a review of their 2019 album "Resignes" which was released as a joint effort between Xenokorp, Deadlight and Weird Truth Productions.
A very slow, dark and heavy funeral doom metal sound starts off the album while all of the tracks are very long and epic in length. Vocals are mostly death metal growls along with the solos and leads being done in a very dark and melodic style and when screams are utilized they also add in a touch of black metal.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with some clean guitars also being added into certain sections of the recording. Spoken word parts and whispers can also be heard briefly and the riffs also add in some dark sounding melodies at times.
When t he music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can be heard along with the music also bringing in a good amount of 90's doom and death metal influences but keeping it modern at the same time. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture of French and English and cover despair, torturing and suffering themes.
In my opinion Ataraxie are a very great sounding extreme mixture of funeral doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "People Swarming, Evil Ruling" and "Coronation Of The Leeches". 8 out of 10.
