The 17-track album begins with *Voremare*, which wastest no time, introducing itself with fuzzy ambient guitar and emphasised eccentric sing-spoken vocals as dark keyboards join the mix. The song has a raw mix as sections cut between singing and guitar and electronic keyboard pieces. *Cavaral* starts with distorted vocals that hold long notes as ground buzzing ambience, and what sounds like programmed guitar/bass. The song has a very experimental, trippy vibe to it that showcases Flame of Life's eccentricity and unconventional writing. *Veavat* feels like a continuation of the first 2 songs, featuring the same programmed bass and singing style, almost feeling like the same song. Dark ambience and percussive tapping are introduced alongside familiar tones from the first 2 tracks. *Kaeshi* starts off with choppy instrumentals and layered vocals that create a haunting, fever-dream-like sound that instills a sense of emotion in the listener. Some of the programmed instrumentals remind me of soundtracks of retro video games like the original *DOOM*. *Goevi* follows the sound of the previous songs, bringing in the ambient guitar and chopped instrumentals while occasionally bringing back the "retro game" sound that I mentioned earlier. Overall, so far, Flame of Life has a very experimental sound that seems to take from some alternative rock genres while creating unique ambient soundscapes. Next is *Te Mai Ufolt*, which starts with lofi production as emphasised singing and instrumentals similar to the previous tracks continue. Soon, a dark, industrial ambience is introduced, adding to the eerie atmosphere as distorted key melodies dance across the frequency range. *Aeves* bounces layered vocals back and forth as the retro game vibes are brought back with renewed intensity before building into more industrial ambience. *Ara Leime* brings the keys back to the forefront alongside vocals while keeping a similar sound to the previous tracks so far. *Seimore Afaid* brings a clean guitar to life, introducing a fresh element to the song. *Dai Ash Gore* adds a bright synth tone while following a similar chord progression with programmed instrumentals to some of the earlier parts of the album. *Tou Amael* starts with dark ambience as echoing vocals reintroduce the "trippy" vibes from earlier. Some other bigger changes happen during *Kataloi* as a particularly industrial, distorted atmosphere adds to the hauntingness of the atmosphere and *Disco Aleomt*,which brings back clean guitar and heavily distorted guitar riffs, adding in alternative rock or metal influences. The final track *Noemai* follows the setup of the rest of the album while adding bright guitar riffs to further the metal influences. You can stream *Magna*,available on all streaming platforms now. --- **Find Them Here:** [**Spotify**](https://open.spotify.com/album/3tCp4epg3yBEdl3GTp90Tm?ref=themetalverse.net) **|** [**BandCamp**](https://flameoflife.bandcamp.com/?ref=themetalverse.net) **|** [**MusicIDB**](https://musicidb.com/artists/FlameofLife?ref=themetalverse.net) --- *Thanks for reading!* - *For More Unsigned Band Reviews*, *See The Full List* [*Here!*](https://www.themetalverseofficial.com/tag/reviews/?ref=themetalverse.net) - *Subscribe to our Metal News* [*Email list for weekly updates!*](https://www.themetalverseofficial.com/?ref=themetalverse.net#/portal) - *Submit a Story or Your Music* [*Contact us*](https://www.themetalverseofficial.com/contact-us/?ref=themetalverse.net)*!* - *Follow on Social Media!* [*Instagram* ](https://www.instagram.com/the%5Fmetalverse/?ref=themetalverseofficial.com)*|* [*Facebook*](https://www.facebook.com/themetalverseofficial/) --- *Thanks for reading!* - ***Read more of the*** [***latest rock/metal news here***](https://www.themetalverse.net/tag/articles/) - ***Subscribe to our Metal News*** [***Email list for weekly updates!***](https://www.themetalverseofficial.com/?ref=themetalverse.net#/portal) - ***Support The Metalverse and*** [***go ad-free.***](https://www.themetalverseofficial.com/?ref=themetalverse.net#/portal/signup/668d7c6c2ca9220001e6988d/monthly) - **Follow us on Social Media |** [**Instagram**](https://www.instagram.com/the%5Fmetalverse/?ref=themetalverse.net) **|** [**Facebook**](https://www.facebook.com/themetalverseofficial/) - **Listen to our** [**metal Spotify Playlists!**](https://open.spotify.com/user/creativej420?si=c10484a4d89f4671&ref=themetalverse.net) - ***Join our free 5-day*** [***music marketing email course!***](https://www.themetalverse.net/#/portal/signup)
