It doesn&#8217;t sound plastic. V28&#8217;s music has dark, eerie moments, and spoken samples here and there. The vocals are largely black metal, with some death metal growling, as well as bits of nonscreamed vocals. The guitar often has an oldschool, cold and melodic black-ish riffing\/noodling, combined with dark, downtuned work of amorphous black\/death, with catchy moments. The term post-black metal or avantgarde are often used with bands like this.

It sounds a lot like mid-paced black-influenced metal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I read the word &#8220;industrial&#8221; applied to this band and was expecting industrial.
