I think, melodic death/doom describes it the best, with a lean onto death side, maybe with a bit of melodic black and gothic metal influences.
The sound is pretty tight, low and aggressive. The tempo is average, overall kind of powerful and sometimes has a pure death metal feel to it but has also doom parts.
The mood is tragic but not desperate, also plenty of aggressive and strong parts. A bit too many vocal lines but that feels usual for Graveworm.
There're strong melodic moments here and there and overall tracks are well-done but somehow not that catchy all the way through.
Anyways I've still found something to keep. It is not as good as their earliest releases but still one of the better ones in like 15 years or more even.
