Aegrus are a band from Finland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a satanic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2019 album "In Manus Satanas" which will be released in October by Saturnal.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while spoken word parts can be heard briefly. When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the music more of a raw feeling along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark and melodic style along with all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them and some of the tracks are very long and epic in length and as the album progresses the music also has its atmospheric moments and clean playing is also added onto the closing track.
On this recording Aegrus remains true to the satanic black metal style that was established on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism, Luciferian, Self Knowledge, Occultism and Transcendental Knowledge themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Aegrus and if you are a fan of satanic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Nightspirit Theosis""Ascending Shadows" and "In Manus Satanas". 8 out of 10.
