Intaglio are a duo from Russia that plays a very atmospheric form of funeral doom/death metal and this is a review of their 2005 self titled album which was re-issued in 2020 as a joint effort between Solitude and Weird Truth Productions.
Dark soundscapes start off the album along with some clean playing a few seconds later while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. The slower riffs also bring in the heaviness of funeral doom metal while the vocals are mostly death metal growls and a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while the riffs also bring in a decent amount of depressive sounding melodies. Grim screams can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with a couple of the songs also being interludes and all of the music also sticks to a slower direction as well as the closing track also adding in a brief use of whispered vocals.
Intalgio plays a style of funeral doom/death metal that is very slow, dark, atmospheric and heavy sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover nature, darkness and depression themes.
In my opinion Intalgio are a very great sounding atmospheric funeral doom/death metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Dark Cherry Day" and "Wind of Autumn". 8 out of 10.
