“Parham Gharavaisi’s ‘Mirror’s Gaze’ plunges listeners into a dark and atmospheric realm, drawing upon elements of doom, death, and black metal to create a sonic landscape that is both haunting and intense. Hailing from New York, Parham Gharavaisi wastes no time in immersing listeners in a heavy, distorted soundscape. The track opens with thunderous electric guitars, their distorted tones reverberating with ominous weight, while the bass adds layers of depth and darkness to the musical landscape. From the outset, the influence of 1990s doom and death metal is palpable, evoking memories of bands like My Dying Bride with their dramatic and brooding soundscapes. At 0:19, raw vocals tear through the mix, adding an additional layer of intensity to the composition. Drawing inspiration from the epic black metal stylings of bands like Dimmu Borgir and Hellhammer, Parham Gharavaisi delivers a theatrical and horror-infused vocal performance that sends shivers down the spine. The juxtaposition of the raw, almost lo-fi musical background with the dramatic tone of the vocals creates a dark and foreboding atmosphere that is further heightened by the theatricality of the delivery. ‘Mirror’s Gaze’ with its heavy riffs, raw vocals, and dark atmosphere, is sure to resonate with fans of extreme metal genres. The track offers a thrilling journey into the depths of musical despair.
