Swansong offers hard banging and great riffs and beautiful melodies, combined with Jemiina’s growling voice on her debut. On this album, you can hear influences from the 80s/90s death and black , which personally warmed the heart. This album definitely represents contemporary melodic death metal, but the most important thing for the listener is their own style and sound. I got chills many times while listening to this album. The album has a lot to say that deals with difficult topics, which certainly gives many people something to stick to, which is a good thing. This is the best domestic album I’ve listened to in 2023.
The best album of the year!
The Best!
Swansong is the best
