Impery are a duo from Venezueal that plays a very old school and satanic form of occult black metal and this is a review of their 2015 album "Ars Goetia" which was re-issued in 2019 by Entocomophobic Records.
A very dark and ritualistic sounding intro starts off the album before going into a heavier musical direction. Demonic voices can also be heard in the background briefly along with the riffs also adding in some dark sounding melodies which also adds an influence of death metal onto the recording.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the tracks also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's era.
Ritualistic soundscapes and synths also are added in certain sections of the recording along with one of the later tracks also being an instrumental as well as all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them, all of the drum beats are also programmed and as the album progresses guitar solos, leads and growls can also be heard briefly and clean playing can also be heard on the outro. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Spanish and cover Satanism, Occultism and Goetia themes.
In my opinion Impery are a very great sounding old school, satanic and occult black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "La Llave Del Grimorio" "Dantalian" and "El Ars Goetia". 8 out of 10.
