Zetra - From Without (2022)

Zetra, the metal-stylized dream pop project from London is back. In fact, they release new EPs quite regularly and after I posted about The Wanderer two years ago, they managed to release two EPs: From Within and From Without. And the latter is so good that I couldn't miss it.

Although the image of the band is clearly black metal-inspired (with the logo, the cover arts, the IG pictures all about the dark culture of metal music), their music is located on the more ethereal part of the music spectrum. The dispersed and very airy vocals are balanced with tangible, coarse rock/metal guitars and the results are brilliant. Especially in my favourite song on this short album, Call of the Void with its catchy (and extremely unnerving and gloomy) chorus. Those dream pop vibes are packed in a synth-soaked package that ties the project also to more post-punk scene, but, in reality, the project really draws the best from very different genres and this is what I like about it the most.

From Without costs 6 EUR (4.99 GBP).
