Italy's Postvorta have returned with a new recording which continues their mixture of sludge, doom and post metal with some touches of black metal from their previous releases and this is a review of their 2020 album "Porrima" which will be released in February as a joint effort between Sludgelord and 22 Dicembre Records.
Water sounds start off the album along with some atmospheric soundscapes a few seconds later. Clean playing can also be heard in some parts of the recording while the synths also give the songs more of a cinematic atmosphere when they are utilized and also mixes win with the heavier sections of the songs at times.
Elements of sludge and doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs while the vocals also add in a decent amount of growls which are in between death metal and hardcore. The riffs also add in some melodies at times as well as the music also being very heavily rooted in post metal.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style as well as all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them. All of the tracks are very long and epic in length along with the music also adding in a small amount of black metal influences at times, clean singing can also be heard briefly, as the album progresses female vocals and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover existential, dead, melancholy and loss themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Postvorta and if you are a fan of sludge, doom and post metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Epithelium Copia" and "Aldehyde Framework". 8 out of 10.
