House Of Atreus are a band from Minnesota that has been featured before in this zine and plays a very melodic form of death metal and this is a review of their 2018 album "From The Madness Of Ixion" which will be released in October by Iron Bonehead Productions.
A very hard and heavy sound starts off the album along with the faster sections of the songs also bringing in a great amount of blast beats while the screams also add in a touch of black metal along with the vocals being mostly death metal growls and the riffs also bring in a great amount of melody.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style while all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them along with the songs also bringing in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the riffs also utilizing a lot of melody, tremolo picking can also be heard in some of the fast riffing and some of the tracks are very long and epic in length and as the album progresses they also bring in an instrumental.
House Of Atreus creates another recording that remains true to the melodic death metal style that was established on their previous album, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Greek Tragedy, War and Shakespeare themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from House Of Atreus and if you are a fan of melodic death metal, you should check out t his album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Zealous Inequity" "Call To Thee, Concubines" and "Bonded beyond Supremacy". 8 out of 10.
