Italy's II Vuoto has returned with a new recording which continues the atmospheric style of funeral doom metal from his previous releases and this is a review of his 2019 album "Vastness" which was released by Hypnotic Dirge Records.
A very distorted sound starts off the album before adding some clean playing onto the recording along with most of the tracks being very long and epic in length. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and synths are also added into some parts of the music.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style while the slow and heavy riffs are done in more of a funeral doom metal direction. Vocals are mostly deep death metal growls along with some clean vocals and whispers also being utilized at times as well as the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody.
When screams are utilized they bring elements of black metal onto the recording as well as one song also introducing acoustic guitars onto the album along with some spoken word parts also being used briefly and all of the music sticks to a slower direction, the album closes with an instrumental track. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover sorrow and distress themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from II Vuoto and if you are a fan of atmospheric funeral doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Vastness" and "V (The Fifth Nail)'. 8 out of 10.
