LvxCaelis are a band from Chile that plays a spiritual form of black metal and this is a review of their 2019 album "Maher Shalal Hash Baz" which will be released on Halloween by Lamech Records.
Ritualistic soundscapes start off the album before going into a heavier musical direction while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams. A decent amount of dark sounding melodies can also be heard in the guitar riffing while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the music being influenced by both the modern and old school era of black metal.
Some of the riffing also shows an influence of 90's era death and doom metal along with some guitar solos and leads also being added into certain sections of the recording and they are also done in a very dark and melodic style, one track also adds in a brief use of semi clear vocals and the last track also adds in clean playing and spoken word parts. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover The Black Lodge, Luciferian Gnosis and Left Hand Path themes.
In my opinion LvxCaelis are a very great sounding spiritual black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Beyond the Fading Stars" "The Beginning Was The End" and "Awakening The Final Chaos". 8/5 out of 10.
