Review By Darren McIntyre
Black Reuss are a Gothic / Doom / Rock / Metal outfit from Triesen, Liechtenstein who came to our attention in 2018, they delivered their debut album Metamorphosis in 2021 and followed that with the fantastic Journey in 2022. The tail end of 2023 sees the dawning of their new concept album Arrival and from that brought a couple of singles, fast forward to 2024 and we are offered the new dark, moody number Soul Awakening which I will be reviewing for you today.
Soul Awakening – A real brooding synth line is wandering freely through the intro as the sampler grooves erupt into the arrangement as a punchy snare drum beat brings the rhythm section to life. We get dark broody vocals that are wrapping themselves around this gothic number as the sweet haunting tones swirl above us as this foot stomping number unfolds and really allows the track to deliver a thought provoking tone that is like being in the middle of an 80’s film as the horror element catches you off guard and lets the groove build and build as Anna’s haunting symphonic vocals bring depth, and darkness to this melodic numbner as we flow freely through the mid section as the tone shifts and really delivers a doom element that brings us a pounding double bass kick that really opens up this crunching thought provoking number that just catches your attention as it fades into the distance.
