Where previous releases saw SVNEATR display their dichotomous musicianship in atmospheric passages, NEVER RETURN, shines with progressive influences taking up more presence.
Whilst black and death metal remain a large part of their musical DNA, NEVER RETURN sees SVNEATR introduce cello and contrabass as well as vocal chanting and clean singing. These embellishments bring a celestial quality to their more excoriating passages that balance melody, fury, and riffs through its next-level songwriting. NEVER RETURN encompasses a cornucopia of approaches to the black metal sound.
