Kozeljnik/Deeper The Fall/Paragon Records/2010 CD Review


  Kozeljnik are a band from Belgrade, Serbia that plays a weird and schizophrenic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2010 album "Deeper The Fall" which was released by Paragon Records.

Drums cover a good amount of variety with some slow to mid paced drumming mixed in with a lot of fast playing and brutal blast beats, while the bass playing has a very powerful sound that has a progressive feel ti it while still being black metal and on a couple of the songs there is a violin being used that gives the music a doomy feel.

Rhythm guitars mix in a lot of different styles of riffs with some weird sounding slow to mid paced riffing mixed in with a lot of fast black metal playing, while the lead guitars have a very primal black metal feel to them mixed in with a good amount of dark melodies.

Vocals are a mixture of high pitched black metal screams and suicidal style vocals with some clean singing being used at times, while the lyrics cover death, negation and devilry with a satanic edge, as for the production it sounds very professional for a black metal album and you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this album.

In my opinion Kezeljnik are a very original and talented band that might not appeal to all black metal fans but will appeal to the more open minded fans of the genre, and while their music sounds very good to my ears I can easily tell that this band is not for everybody. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The All Consuming" and "Deeper The Fall". RECOMMENDED BUY.
