Gates Of Mourning - Of Raven's Wings And A Blood Moon

Hello HellHounds and Today we are reviewing the latest album by USBM one man project Gates Of Mourning.

Gates Of Mourning is a one man Black Metal project hailing from  Orlando, Florida United States. 
Gates Of Mourning also have a new EP out which I will also be reviewing at another time.

Of Raven's Wings And A Blood Moon is an interesting album. The first few tracks are about 3 to 4 minutes long until you get to the last four tracks which each go for about 6 minutes long.

Of Raven's Wings And A Blood Moon is a 9 track album with a duration of around 44 minutes and 16 seconds. Of Raven's Wings And A Blood Moon was released on May 15th 2021.

At first listen you would think that there is two singers if you look up the band you realise there is only 1 member this is due to the fact that there is two types of vocal styles here high pitched and low pitched growls and screams which I find is very interesting for Black Metal.

I would've like a bit more diversity in this album as alot of the songs sound very similar. 
However the last 4 songs do have some different elements to them that give just enough substance to the album. 

The standout tracks on this album for me are as follows :
. Bibere veneum in Auro
. Vörös 
. A Labrinth Of Woes Wept Ruinous 
. Gates Of Mourning 

Although this album lacked some diversity i do However think it is very impressive that one person could do all this by themselves so my humble thanks and appreciation goes out to Gates Of Mourning for providing us a really good album nonetheless.

Overall I do think this album would be a good listen for 2021 and I do recommend you go check it out. 
I rate this album a 7/10 

This has been my review of Gates Of Mourning's Of Raven's Wings And A Blood Moon.
Until Next Time HellHounds 
Stay Black , Stay Evil , Stay Metal.
