Gladden Fields is a solo project from the United Kingdom that plays a mixture of ambient, neo-medieval music and folk with a touch of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2020 album "Menace Of Despair".
Dark soundscapes start off the ep while the music also captures a very ritualistic atmosphere at times. When synths are utilized they also add in elements of dark ambient while elements of neo-folk and medieval music can be heard when acoustic guitars are added onto the recording.
All of the songs are instrumental while the music also captures the dark atmosphere of black metal. At times the music also gets very experimental sounding while the drum beats when they are utilized also gives the music more of a shamanistic atmosphere and all of the songs also sound very different from each other.
Gladden Fields plays a musical style that takes dark ambient, neo-folk and medieval music and mixes it in with a touch of black metal to create a sound of his own while also keeping everything instrumental and the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion Gladden Fields is a very great sounding mixture of dark ambient, neo-folk and medieval music with seem touches of experimental and black metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Winter Sun" and "Walls Of Night". 8 out of 10.
