Tardigrada are a band from Switzerland that plays a very atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their 2016 album "Emotionale Odnis" which will be released in October by Eisenwald. Clean guitars start off the album and after the intro the music goes into more of a heavier direction along with all of the musical instruments sounding very powerful while the vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams and when guitar leads are utilized they are done in a melodic fashion. A decent amount of melody can also be heard in the guitar riffing while a great portion of the songs are very long and epic in length and when the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw black metal feeling and there is an intro before each song which all use clean playing along with a brief use of thunder and rain sounds and the tracks also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
