House Of Atreus are a band from Minnesota that plays a melodic form of death metal and this is a review of their 2015 album "The Spear And The Ichor That Follows" which will be released in May by Dark Descent Records.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the album along with some melodic guitar leads a few seconds alter before adding in some death metal growls and the music is a lot more closer to the 90's style of death metal but with a more modern production while some of the solos bring an 80's metal feeling to the recording at times.
Throughout the recording there is a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and you can also hear a touch of black metal in the bands musical style at times and some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and also incorporate a small amount of blast beats at times and a couple of the later tracks also brings in a brief use of spoken word samples before making a return back to a melodic death metal sound and the band also avoids using any clean or soft parts in any of the songs while one track near the end brings in a brief use of black metla screams.
House Of Atreus plays a style of death metal that is very melodic and heavily rooted in the 90's and also adds in a touch of black metal at times, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Greek tragedies and tales of war.
In my opinion House Of Atreus are a very great sounding melodic death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Messenger of A Shaken Host" "Heir To The Crown Of Sodom" and "The River Black" 8 out of 10.
