Czech Republic's Postcards From Arkham have returned with a new recording which shows the music going into more of an atmospheric folk direction and this is a review of their 2018 album "Spirit" which was released by MetalGate Records.
Ambient style synths start off the album along with some acoustic guitars and post rock elements a few seconds latter while the whispered vocals add in a touch of black metal as well as some tribal sounding percussion's also being utilized at times and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly.
A great mixture of both full chords and finger picking can also be heard in the acoustic guitars along with some elements of folk music while nature sounds can also be heard briefly as well as some metal elements also being added into the unplugged parts and as the album progresses a brief use of electric guitar leads can also be heard as well on an instrumental track.
On this recording Postcards From Arkham move away from their post metal style to focus more on an atmospheric style of folk music, the production sounds very dark while the lyrics are based upon the writings of H.P Lovecraft.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Postcards From Arkham and if you are a fan of post rock and atmospheric folk music, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "From The Bottle of The Ocean" "Thousand Years For Us" and "Elevate". 8 out of 10.
