Full Length Review: Mythark "Unleash the Darkness" (Independent) by Daniel Ryan

Band: Mythark
Location: Saint Etienne
Country: France
Genre: Blackened symphonic death metal
Format: Double CD, digital
Label: Independent
Release date: April 13, 2019
Mythark from Saint Etienne France really push the boundaries of being a symphonic blackened death metal band with their powerful sounds that capture the mind.
These guys not only break those boundaries they set a whole new standard when it comes to the genre. Filled with deadly operatics and key arrangements this band relies on it as its main focus with the guitars and drums coming in second. With twisted bass lines and haunting vocals they take something absolutely beautiful sounding and turn it into utter madness. For fans of Septic Flesh, Cradle Of Filth & Emperor, this band take these influences and combine them in their own dark & mysterious way. Great solos are still found here on a few tracks and are accompanied by the sound of brutal death metal vocals plus shrieks ones as well.
Along with their music you get a strong feel in the operatics that carry the songs to points of no return & a sophisticated feel to them that leave you wanting more. I have to say my favorite track is Requiem. Definitely check these guys out! –Daniel Ryan
