Unalei are a musical project from Italy and on this recording plays a mixture of ethereal, goth, progressive and folk with some touches of post metal and this is a review of their self released 2020 album "Galatea".
Classical music style keyboards start off the album along with a brief use of nature sounds while the acoustic guitars also bring in elements of folk music when they are utilized. Vocals are mostly done in a clean style as well as the music also bringing in some symphonic and orchestra sounds and the electric guitar solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to then while the music also captures a goth orientated atmosphere at times. When female vocals are utilized they also give the music more of an ethereal and operatic atmosphere along with some tracks also adding in percussion's.
The songs also use a variety of many different types of folk instruments, when the music speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard as well as one track also introducing whispered vocals onto the recording along with some songs also being instrumentals and as the album progresses a brief use of spoken word parts and black metal screams can also be heard. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture Italian, Spanish, Russian and English and is a concept album based upon the discovery of roots through time and space.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Unalei and if you are a fan of ethereal, goth, progressive, folk and post metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Anarada" "Azalea" and "Lola". 8 out of 10.
