Post-black quartet <strong>Euphrosyne</strong> tackle the loss of a loved one, in this case songwriter Alex Despotidis’ mother, on their debut LP, <em>Morus</em>. Post-black seems an appropriate style for the Greeks, with a focus on atmosphere, melody, and stillness to balance black metal fury. While the lyrics are credited to frontwoman Efi Eva, all the music was composed by Despotidis, an unenviable but hopefully cathartic duty for someone who just lost a parent. Observing the grieving process always feels a bit intrusive, and <em>Morus</em> reveals itself to be an intensely personal collection of songs. Nevertheless, the motionless death shroud on <em>Morus</em>’ cover invites the listener into a journey of pain, death, and that which remains.</p><p><strong>Euphrosyne</strong> isn’t content to paint themselves into a post-black corner. Efi Eva is a convincing, multi-faceted vocalist, and her chameleon-like vocal performance drives the different moods of <em>Morus</em>. Her clean soprano, not unlike <strong>Evanescence</strong>’s Amy Lee, guides the acoustic sections, featuring reverb-drenched piano melodies and simple, plucked guitar lines (“Morus,” “Valley of White”), while also unleashing impressive hardcore shouts (“Asphodel”) and black metal roars (“Lilac Ward”). Despotidis’ lead guitar acts as a counterpoint, his soaring melodies anchoring instrumental sections (“Funeral Rites,” “Mitera”). <strong>Euphrosyne</strong>’s rhythm section is dependable, deploying predictable blasting alongside less predictable odd time signatures and filtered grooves akin to <em>Mer de Noms</em>-era <strong>A Perfect Circle</strong> (“Valley of White,” “Eulogy”). At its heart, <em>Morus</em> is a narrative album, and <strong>Euphrosyne</strong> wisely employ different sounds and styles to shape the story as its told.</p><p></p><p><strong>Euphrosyne</strong> excel at painting the tale of death with their music. From the pivotal moment of “July 21st” where Eva takes her ethereal clean tone and warps it into a furious snarl, the listener sits sidecar to Despotidis’ grieving process. The frustrated proselytizing of “Eulogy,” the spiraling guitar riff closing “Funeral Rites” (perhaps signifying the lowering of a casket), and the wailing guitar melody of “Mitera” that segues into “Asphodel” feels more at home in the theater than the recording studio. Spoken word, all in the band’s native Greek, humanizes the performance and reinforces the narrative concept (“Morus,” “Mitera”). While the production shows its limits in the black metal riffage, <strong>Euphrosyne</strong> know how to use silence and space when it counts, particularly at the edges of their songs (“Morus,” “Funeral Rites”). <em>Morus</em> is also edited well, running at a well-rounded 43 minutes with not much fat to trim. The slimmer run time allows the listener to fully appreciate the story on their first pass, and then discover layering and thematic through-lines on repeats.</p><p></p><p><strong>Euphrosyne</strong> drip creativity with their more adventurous sections, but they seem to move to the tried and true side of melodic metal elsewhere. Eva’s performance is solid throughout, but the constant reliance on a clean vocal chorus becomes rote by the end of the album. The black metal passages of the album, while serving their role as a pressure valve for the music’s pent-up emotion, feel by-the-numbers and more like a bridge between the more exciting, less heavy moments. Production is handled by Psychon of <strong>Septicflesh</strong> fame, and while the mixing/mastering job lends the quieter parts of <em>Morus</em> breathing room, the crushed DR5 rips any sense of dynamic from the black metal blasting and trilling, an industry-standard approach that takes away from <strong>Euphrosyne</strong>’s unique take on the genre. Its difficult to pinpoint specific songs that work better than others since they all contain aspects of the “post and the black,” but it’s easy to see after a couple weeks of focused listens that <strong>Euphrosyne</strong> shine in the empty spaces when they’re less restricted to a post-black label.</p><p>Despite these gripes, <em>Morus</em> is a deeply affecting album, one that moved me more the longer I left it to marinate. I don’t know that singular pain of losing a parent, but I know the pain of losing someone very close to me, and Despotidis’ memoir has brushed that scar tissue. Though this score may seem to describe a somewhat middling listening experience, I highly recommend this album for fans of dark, weighty music that tells a story. I think with some fine-tuning, <strong>Euphrosyne</strong> have quite the mark to make in the post-black world. Until their next effort, I’ll keep <em>Morus</em> in my back pocket for the grey days when I need to commiserate with another wounded soul.</p> <p><strong>Rating:</strong> 3.0/5.0<br><strong>DR:</strong> 5 | <strong>Format Reviewed:</strong> 320 kb/s mp3<br><strong>Label:</strong> <a href="https://blacklionrecords.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Black Lion Records</a><br><strong>Websites:</strong> <a href="http://euphrosyneblacklion.bandcamp.com/album/morus" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> | <a href="http://facebook.com/euphrosyneproject" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide:</strong> March 21st, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/30/" target="_blank">#30</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/a-perfect-circle/" target="_blank">#APerfectCircle</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/black-lion-records/" target="_blank">#BlackLionRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/black-metal/" target="_blank">#BlackMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/euphrosyne/" target="_blank">#Euphrosyne</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/evanescence/" target="_blank">#Evanescence</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/gothic-metal/" target="_blank">#GothicMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/greek-metal/" target="_blank">#GreekMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/mar25/" target="_blank">#Mar25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/melodic-metal/" target="_blank">#MelodicMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/morus/" target="_blank">#Morus</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/post-metal/" target="_blank">#PostMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/septicflesh/" target="_blank">#SepticFlesh</a></p>
